Supporting families

ATD Fourth World refuses to accept that families are separated because of poverty. We are working to ensure that all children and parents are provided with the adequate means to live as a family and achieve their family project.

Reaching the poorest

ATD Fourth World empowers children and parents in their efforts to overcome poverty. We direct our efforts towards the poorest and most excluded people in the community, not those who are easiest to reach.

Pioneering new ways

ATD Fourth World develops innovative projects and new experiences to discover what kinds of support very poor families need most, and how they might best be encouraged to access this.

Empowerment through Art

ATD Fourth World believes that culture, art and creative expression are essential for all. We run projects that provide people experiencing poverty with the opportunity to express themselves, build self-esteem and self-belief.
