ABOUT US
1.7 How we work
1.8 Areas of action
In the places where it operates, Helpcode ensures
that girls and boys enjoy their right to education
through innovative concrete solutions.
The Association explores untravelled paths on which to find new
forms of action and has the courage to put them into effect,
for example by using blockchain technology for microcredit
or coding workshops to support teaching in Italy. At the same
time, we maintain a strong practical sense that always brings
tangible results.
What the Association values most is the happiness of the girls
and boys it helps, along with their families and communities. This
is why its actions and projects are aimed at satisfying their needs
and making sure they enjoy their rights.
Helpcode believes the happiness of the people who help with their
donations is important, too. And so it provides a way of ensuring its
donors bring happiness to hearts without it.
1.9 The Sustainable
Development Goals
Helpcode’s projects and activities fall within the general framework
of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, which
the international community introduced in 2016 to achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), identified as the pillars
of development for the years to come.
Only a global approach in line with the principal European and international policies and aware of
more general factors can lead to sustainable development. But there is broad consensus as to the fact
that, especially in lower-income countries, efforts must be concentrated primarily on solving serious,
basic social needs such as education, food and water, rural development, and gender equality.
This is why Helpcode’s actions focus on the following goals:
Goal 4 – QUALITY EDUCATION: ensuring inclusive education for all and promoting fair,
quality opportunities for ongoing learning.
Goal 2 – ZERO HUNGER: putting an end to hunger, guaranteeing food security, improving
nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Goal 3 – GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: ensuring good health and well-being for all
people, of all ages.
Goal 5 – GENDER EQUALITY: achieving gender equality through the emancipation of girls
and women.
Goal 6 – CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION: ensuring availability to all and sustainable
management of water and sanitary facilities.

To achieve these milestones, Helpcode works
in a number of areas, beginning with the
one the Association considers most crucial:
education. Education is understood in
the broadest sense, beginning with girls’ and
boys’ right to education, continuing with ongoing
education for individuals and also including
education in nutrition, peace, basic human
rights, and all forms of awareness and active
citizenship.
The other areas Helpcode concentrates on are protection
of children, gender equality and health.
