Brücke Le Pont

We are committed to a just world in which all people can live self-determined from decent work.

We promote sustainable improvement of living and working conditions for people in Africa and Latin America. With our «Decent Work» programme, consisting of approximately 30 projects, we encourage structural and systemic changes that enable people to strengthen their vocational skills, claim their labour and human rights and earn a living income.

Focusing on the following sustainable development goals (SDGs)

No Poverty
Zero Hunger
Quality Education
Gender Equality
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Reduced Inequalities
Responsible Consumption and Production
Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Partnerships to achieve the Goals

How we work

Brücke Le Pont is guided by human rights, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). We promote global solidarity and social justice and advocate gender equality. We cultivate collaborative cooperation with our partner organisations characterised by mutual respect and appreciation. We are committed to strengthening people’s self-determination and acting in an impact-oriented manner.

... and why

The high level of poverty, the unequal distribution of wealth and income and the increasing precarity of work worldwide show the consistent need for «decent work». With its systemic and integral approach and over 65 years of programme experience, Brücke Le Pont is effective in helping people improve their working and living conditions and thus contributes to sustainable development.
