PLANETE ENFANTS & DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNTS
The 2025 financial statements show a profit and reflect the expanded implementation of three projects in Burkina Faso, India, and France.
Thanks to the growth of its activities and its effective management of development and operating costs, the association has returned to a rate of 86% for expenditures dedicated to its social mission.
Funding from private sources has increased by more than 22%, contributing to a rebalancing of public and private funding sources.
This positive momentum is reinforced by our strategy to develop philanthropic and public-source funding, which continues to bear fruit.
Allocation of Resources in 2025
Operating revenue increased by 10% compared to 2024.
This growth is due to an increase of more than 395,000€ in funds received from associations and other foundations (the Enfants du Monde association for the EQUIPE project in Burkina Faso, and new foundations for the Chemins d’Enfances program in France). Public grants have remained relatively stable: on the one hand, the French Development Agency has increased its grants in line with expanded activities for the vocational training project in India; on the other hand, World Bank funding for the construction of daycare centers in Cambodia has come to an end.
The breakdown between public and private funds will be balanced in 2025.
Donations from individuals continue to rise thanks to the fundraising events that have been held every October since 2021.
We need to foster public generosity to grow PE&D’s organizational funds. These funds constitute our cash reserves and are essential for covering unforeseen expenses, supporting our project activities, and making investments. They provide us with the autonomy that is essential for any civil society organization.
Employment Breakdown in 2025
Operating expenses increased by 9% overall in 2025.
The increase in social mission expenditures of more than 497,000€ is driven in particular by the scaling up of the EQUIPE project to strengthen early childhood education in Burkina Faso, the expanding implementation of the GYVE project to support youth training in India, and the implementation of the Early Childhood Development project in Togo.
The increase in dedicated funds (funds raised in 2025 but not used during that fiscal year) is primarily due to a decline in the value of the dollar against the euro, which resulted in actual expenditures being lower than projected; but also by some delays in carrying out activities (notably due to delays in receiving administrative approvals in Burkina Faso). In addition, this line item includes donations collected during our Philanthropy Gala in October 2025 for projects that will begin in 2026.
Operating costs will drop dramatically in 2025.
It should be noted that these expenses include the accounting valuation of pro bono services and volunteer work—that is, staff made available to the association free of charge. The departure of an employee on a skills-based pro bono assignment in 2024 and the arrival of her successor only in mid-2025 largely account for this variation.
