Our programs also support vulnerable families with children under 6. We mobilize our human resources through the support of food and non-food items of basic necessity, to reach a greater number of people and amplify the impact of solidarity initiatives. We are an open network and we collaborate with bodies, organizations and foundations that share our objectives through donations of food goods and other items useful for the primary needs of poor families”.

Respect and solidarity between the people of the area produces spiritual, moral and economic wealth. We believe that this type of event can represent the right barrier against indifference.”
