The People for Change Foundation is a Malta-based human rights organization specializing in research, lobbying and capacity-building.
Set up in 2007, the Foundation is structured into six specialized institutes, each of which takes on projects and initiatives within its respective area with a high degree of professionalism owed to the experience of the individuals involved within their areas of expertise.
Vision
The People for Change Foundation’s vision is of a just, fair and inclusive society all members of which may reach their full potential unhindered by factors such as age, race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Mission
The People for Change Foundation’s mission is to undertake research, advocacy and proactive action to promote social cohesion, respect for Human Rights and empowerment.
Approach
Our overarching philosophy is that of the Human Rights Based Approach. A Human Rights Based Approach goes beyond a commitment to a concept - it is a strategic mainstreaming process intended to permeate all levels of a structure for it to be configured within a human rights framework, in all its internal as well as external dealings.
HRBA is a proactive process and not a retroactive one, and its impact may only be assessed should the approach be planned into the structuring or structure maintenance of an organization, and not in a hind-sight oriented fashion whereby specific actions are deemed to have been in line with a human rights based framework, this because an HRBA requires horizontal implementation and not occasional vertical intervention.
The People for Change Foundation was founded five years ago, in 2007.
