Making a change in the interest of all
Innovating, experimenting, demonstrating, acting for the progress of administrative, legal and health frameworks in order to improve the quality of life of affected people. But also vehemently refusing infringements of more vulnerable people’s rights.
Trying to heal a wooden leg is no use: since the beginning, AIDES refuses to promote short-lived solutions.
