WHO WE ARE
Created in 1951 as a private institution of public utility, IMVF is a foundation for development and cooperation, that started its activity as a NGDO in 1988, in Sao Tome and Principe. From the 90s onward, we have expanded our action to other countries, mainly Portuguese Speaking Countries and broaden our scope of intervention. In 2017 we widened again our sphere of activities to new geographies in Africa and Latin America as well. The results achieved have turned IMVF into a key stakeholder in different areas of expertise and intervention such as Cooperation and Development.
RAISON D’ ÊTRE
Promote human dignity, comprising equal rights and opportunities and justice for all, improving the welfare of the most vulnerable populations, thus fighting against exclusion and contributing towards a more sustainable planet, as a cornerstone to guarantee living conditions for present and future generations. This is the framework of what we do and how we do it.
HOW WE WORK
Assuring best practices and strengthening communities, public entities and civil society regarding the respect of values and principles such as solidarity, gender equality, sustainability, accuracy and transparency are at the core of our work. Working in close cooperation with our partners in Development, alongside with the commitment and motivation of around 250 staff workers, of which more than 90% are involved on field work, have ensured the quality and relevance of our actions.
