The ABEO Foundation was created in 2004 following the approachs and reflections of its three founders. The latter lived several years in countries in the process of development and managed various cooperative projects.

 
These experiments enabled them to confront the generally accepted ideas with their practical experience to discover other cultures, other manners of living and of functioning; to think abou the reasons of the difficulties encountered in “the development assistance”; to analyze the positive aspects of certain projects and the methods used to achieve or not the definite goals.
 
The founders wished to continue their action in this field by creating a structure corresponding to their observations and their reflections.
