The four areas of focus

OF THE LOUIS OMER-DECUGIS FOUNDATION

The Foundation’s mission to work towards the development of sustainable agriculture and to help communities in difficulty guides its involvement in four main areas: health and inclusion, sustainable agriculture, research and education, and solidarity. These four areas integrate the major overarching global issues in the fight against poverty, the preservation of the planet, health for all, local solidarity, etc.They are also perfectly in line with the universal programme for sustainable development by 2030 through its global objectives, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on which the Louis Omer-Decugis Foundation wishes to have a positive impact and a driving role in the areas where it intervenes.

Health and Inclusion

Access to health for all is a global issue and is Goal 3 of the SDGs adopted in 2015 by the member countries of the United Nations (UN). This is also one of the priority fields of action of the Louis Omer-Decugis Foundation, which has extended it to the central issue of the integration of disabled people into society and to the return to employment of people who are the most disconnected from it.
