Who are we ?
Inter helping is a French NGO specializing in the realization of development programs with particularly poor families. The fields of action, since creation in 1980, have been access to water, hygiene and sanitation (EHA), agriculture, health and school support. These programs are implemented in rural areas, particularly isolated, combining high intensity of large population needs and density, and where the context is sufficiently stable to develop actions oriented towards the autonomy of the populations in the long term.
