How Much Is a Human Being Worth?
A meal becomes a number. An intervention becomes a number. A person becomes a number. Every day, we meet people who have been waiting for years for social or employment support, people sleeping on the streets because shelters are full, people excluded from services because they are considered “too well-off” to qualify for help, yet too poor to live with dignity. The system is supposed to put people first. But what happens when the project becomes more important than the person it was created to help? For us, there is one fundamental principle: put the human being before the system. Before the State, before bureaucracy, before the project, before the funding call, before the funding itself. Because dignity cannot depend on a number. And in the end, one question remains: How much is a human being worth? For us, the answer is simple. They are priceless.
