Frères des Hommes France (FdH; English: Brotherhood of Men) is a secular non-profit aid organization. It was recognized as promoting public interest in 1998 and it consists of 250 members and 250 volunteers spread within 13 local teams. Frères des Hommes supports projects of sustainable development in Asia, Africa and Latin America on the following issues: small-scale agriculture, social economy and democratic citizenship. Upon first seeing Calcutta in 1965, Armand Marquisel was shocked by the sight of a "capital of poverty". After returning to France, he decided to create the NGO Frères des Hommes. He recruited volunteers willing to go to India with him and create the first Frères des Hommes center in Calcutta, where they fed the children. At its beginning, the NGO was organized by different Frères des Hommes centers in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where the volunteers worked. In the 1970s, they were already more than 100 all over the three continents. In 1980, the Charter of the NGO launched a new functioning that established a partnership with local organizations: the assistantship developed during the first years disappeared to a real cooperative work. This original method guided, from then on, all actions carried out by Frères des Hommes. More information...
