The association promotes, by all means, the spread of the message of joy and hope inspired by Christianity, particularly aimed at families and the sick, with a preferential attention to the development of the human being and the best living conditions both in Switzerland and in developing countries. The activities of the Association therefore aim at charity and to raise awareness and participate in human promotion and development cooperation projects, particularly in the countries mentioned in the annual list drawn up by the OECD (see DAC List of ODA Recipients for reporting on aid).
