Fondazione San Zeno believes people should play an active role in changing their own lives, with the aim of offering real opportunities to those experiencing uncertainty and difficulty, helping them attain financial independence and think for themselves.

The foundation believes in a quality school that fosters the well-being of both teachers and students, nurturing enthusiasm and talent and educating the citizens of tomorrow.

It focuses on professional training and job placement schemes tailored towards fragile individuals and prisoners.
It counts on the value of the community and on participation as a driver for development.

Fondazione San Zeno operates in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe, supporting initiatives in the priority areas of education, work and social development.

Thanks also to the fundraising campaign in the Calzedonia and Intimissimi stores in Italy which, during the months of October and November, raised 3% for the realization of the San Zeno Foundation projects. Three cents of each euro of expenditure become schools, libraries, training activities, job opportunities. Not only ideas for a better future remain. They become concrete aid.
