My mother taught us to be proud
Father Joseph Wresinski, 12 February 1917 – 14 February 1988
When Love and Justice Become One
"A way lies open. Let us help others to take it so that in the future poverty will be no more than a bad memory".
Changing the rules of he game
The change required is to fully recognise the dignity of the poor
For people who love justice
Bringing the most disadvantaged back into the mainstream of the human society.
Have a holiday: a right!
"All families, rich and poor, will have the chance to leave everyday life behind for a few weeks in order to recover their humanity"
Partners in democracy
The poorest families yearn to become part of our shared history, as partners in democracy.

"What sets individuals free is not work, but the dignity it confers" - Joseph Wresinski
April 7, World Health Day
Creating a new health culture starting with the most disadvantaged
Restoring their history to the poorest…
...and overturning our excluding behaviour.
Keeping alive the hopes of humanity
...so that things change!
A profound love for humanity
"To be torn apart by their hurt, wounded by their traumas, bloodied by their beatings,..."
Time is pressing
"It is time to understand that there is no celebration that is not a celebration for all" - Joseph Wresinski
20 November, World Children’s Day
"It is high time we declared a state of emergency against extreme poverty, a state of emergency for children".
Everything came from …
"Everything came from a shared life, never from a theory" - Joseph Wresinski
