GASU – Gruppo Aziendale di Solidarietà Umana Sanpaolo Imi Onlus - Genoa
(Corporate Group for Human Solidarity – Sanpaolo Imi Onlus)
GASU is a group of voluntary workers, formed in Genoa in
May 1982 made up of personnel in service or retired from
the branches of the Banca Sanpaolo Imi in the Genoa
metropolitan area, with the participation of approximately
250 people. In that area the Group manages activities
which in many aspects are similar to those of the Ufficio Pio
in the Turin metropolitan area.
The work is performed from the point of view of support
directed at the reinsertion and the gradual attainment of
self-sufficiency by the beneficiaries and set out in two
separate levels.
On the level of welfare activities, the Group provides
continuous or occasional assistance to family units
experiencing hardship; the beneficiaries of the operations
are low-income families. The organisation also deals with
the allocation of training/work experience bursaries to
unemployed indigent persons to regain occupation. In
order to have access to work-scholarships the income of
the family unit of the person involved must be under the
income parameter established by the City of Genoa.
