Support paths, rather than projects. Taking care of, rather than curing.

In 2018 the intervention of the Foundation required challenging and audacious choices, which we carried out according to the values, vision and mission that have been transmitted to us almost 20 years ago.

We have supported paths in which the beneficiaries take on an active role and the co-responsibility for success, with the aim of being self-sufficient in the future as well.

We focused on tailor-made job reintegration, sewn on the abilities of individual people: careleavers boys, intellectually disabled, young people in school leavers, prisoners.

We believed in a school that is a place of well-being for teachers and students, a source of passion and talents and trainer of the citizens of tomorrow.

In a logic of welfare society, in which the community itself is the author of its own regeneration, it is necessary that everyone does his part, according to a principle of circular subsidiarity. For this reason we prefer to support those who stimulate a capacity for recovery, towards autonomy.

We support opportunities for change. We leverage the energies present. We move relationships, so that people who live in a community form networks between themselves to take common actions. How intense our journey has been so far, the past seems short to us, compared to a future that we see full of opportunities and still very long.
