ACTEC is a development NGO set up in 1982 with the aim of supporting vocational training and technical projects for the benefit of poor and marginalised people in the developing countries. Since its inception, ACTEC has concentrated its efforts on promoting aid projects which effectively target the local populations of Latin America and Africa. In 1994, we initiated activities in Lebanon. |

Inspired by the Christian humanism values, ACTEC believes that
human progress occurs by respecting the dignity of
human beings and increasing their autonomy. This autonomy
of individuals and families depends on their capacity
to obtain their own economic means. Work is a way
of achieving this. Every individual is capable of
blossoming either personally or collectively through
his/her work, profession or occupation.
ACTEC promotes vocational training programmes to improve people's economic situation and to understand that their standard of living depends for the most part on the quality of their work. Over the past 20 years, our experience has strengthened our conviction in the importance of vocational training. |
|
| People who have access to it, improve their living conditions substantially and their possibilities to make personal and collective progress. |
| We believe it is essential to promote and support local associations which, confronted with situations of distress, provide specific and bold technical training initiatives. Every partner chosen for this collaboration - and who has opted to collaborate with us - represents hope for change for those benefiting from this action. |
Every project, every action, every partner has its own characteristics to respond to the specific needs of a region. However, the common denominator of our development campaigns is to refuse to accept a situation of poverty and to find ways allowing a real change in the life of the beneficiaries. |
