Support and Development Service

This Programme comprises the following services:
SEAD: “Service d’Ecoute, d’Accompagnement et de Développement”

46 SEAD antennas for listening, accompaniment and development (“Service d’Ecoute, d’Accompagnement et de Développement”) welcome and listen emphatically, extend appropriate support to help restore the dignity of the poorest.

Regular visits help witnessing in situ to understand their environment and culture.
Caritas accompanies the poor in all confidence, helping them in restoring their self-esteem and their ability to cope and organize their priorities. Active listening involves offering the gift of basic empathy to someone who needs to be listened to and understood from where they stand. Caritas supports persons in their struggle for their rights so as to facilitate their integration.
