It carries out its actions through the organisation of training, conferences and artistic events.

The aim of the Œuvre pour la Protection de la Vie Naissante asbl is to ensure that the specific value of all human life from the moment of conception is respected. Consequently, it aims to promote all appropriate medical, educational and social measures to eliminate the root causes of abortion, and in particular, to organise and support counselling, reception and mutual aid services to this end.

Fondation Luxembourg-El Salvador: a shelter for women in distress

The mission of the Fondation Luxembourg-El Salvador shelter is to provide for the most urgent needs of the beneficiaries and their children, to help them overcome crises, to accompany them in a process of improving their self-confidence, and to develop their capacity to work so that in the near future they can find a job and provide for themselves. The shelter also welcomes women who are victims of domestic violence.
