Association mondiale des amis de l'enfance

The Association mondiale des amis de l'enfance, commonly known by its acronym AMADE, is a non-governmental organization founded in 1963 by Princess Grace of Monaco. It is headquartered in the Principality of Monaco and is chaired by the Princess of Hanover, Caroline of Monaco. The organization is authorized in Monaco, with its statutes approved by ministerial decree on 6 January 1964. AMADE's mission is to protect and promote the well-being and development of children worldwide. Its work spans Europe as well as Morocco, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Burundi, Lebanon and the United States. The organization describes itself as protecting, educating and caring for the most vulnerable children across the world, and it invites supporters to discover its projects and missions and to support its action. AMADE holds consultative status with UNICEF, UNESCO and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and participatory status with the Council of Europe. These statuses allow it to contribute to international discussions and policy work on children's rights and welfare. Beyond its field programs, AMADE has engaged with cultural and media projects to raise funds and awareness. In 1985 it acquired the copyright to the film Le Cri silencieux. In 2005, the singer Corneille wrote and composed the AMADE anthem, titled Chanter qu'on les aime, which he performed together with other artists; the proceeds of the single were donated to AMADE. As a Monaco-registered association, AMADE operates as a non-profit entity rather than a commercial company. Its public identity is built around child protection, education and healthcare for vulnerable children, and its official website serves as the primary channel for presenting its projects, missions and fundraising appeals.
