How we work
Proclade works in close collaboration with Mission Procurators of the Claretian Congregation to manage international cooperation projects. The social work of PROCLADE focuses on individuals and context-specific struggles for rights, by having a rights-based approaches to development that involve ‘bottom up’ empowerment of local communities. All international cooperation projects are the result of a real call for help from locals, which actively participate in the formulation and implementation of projects. Dialogue with local references is of fundamental importance for us, as they know the needs of the beneficiaries, who are the real protagonists of any project.
