Frères des hommes
Frères des Hommes (FDH) is a development NGO founded in 1974 in Luxembourg, without political or religious affiliation.

This approach involves sharing ideals and objectives, supporting new or existing projects and co-responsibility.
The target audiences in the South are therefore involved in all stages of the projects supported by Frères des Hommes: from the conception to the elaboration and realization of its activities.
