What Entraide et Fraternité does

Entraide et Fraternité is a Belgian Catholic development NGO (ONG catholique de développement), constituted as an ASBL under enterprise number BE 418.015.461 and headquartered at Rue du Gouvernement Provisoire 32, Brussels. Founded in 1961 with the launch of the Carême de Partage campaign, the organization represents international solidarity for Christians of Wallonia and Brussels and all citizens committed to social justice. It operates through 7 regional offices covering Belgium's provinces (Brussels, Brabant wallon, Hainaut, Liège, Luxembourg, Namur, and the Germanophone community via partner Miteinander Teilen) and develops partnerships with local associations in approximately 20 of the world's poorest countries across Latin America (Haiti, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua), Africa (Burundi, Madagascar, DRC, Rwanda), and Asia (Philippines).

The organization's core programmatic focus is food sovereignty, debt justice, corporate due diligence, fair trade, and land rights. It is structured around five revenue streams: individual donations (recurring bank domiciliation plus Face-to-Face-recruited monthly donors), public institutional co-financing (DGD 2022-2026 programme 'Pour que la terre tourne juste : souveraineté alimentaire pour tous'; Wallonia-Brussels Federation), e-commerce sales of campaign materials and solidarity products via entraide.be/boutique (shipped via bPost within Belgium), event-based fundraising (notably the 20km de Bruxelles solidarity run, conferences, film screenings), and legacy/bequest programs. Educational outputs include the Juste Terre! newsletter, annual reports, and the 'Outils d'éducation' suite (campaign documents, videos, games) targeting Belgian schools and global-citizenship programs such as 'Move with Africa'.

Commercially, Entraide et Fraternité is a non-profit ASBL with no equity instruments. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (President: Adrien de Vreese, appointed 2025; succeeding the late Christian Valenduc) with Axelle Fischer as Secretary General. Strategic alliances include CIDSE (international federation of Catholic development NGOs), CNCD-11.11.11 (Belgian NGO coalition), CADTM (debt-abolition network), Action Vivre Ensemble (joint 2025-2036 strategic framework 'Osons la Solidarité!'), Oxfam Belgium (debt advocacy working group), and the EU-LAT and EurAc networks. The technology footprint is minimal: a WordPress-based website, email newsletter, social media presence (Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and Face-to-Face canvassing operations managed by professional fundraising contractors.
