WHAT WE DO
Italia
Over the past few years, the topic of childhood at risk has once again become current events in Italy.
One million and four hundred and seventy thousand families live in conditions of absolute poverty,
equal to 6.8% of the total population (ISTAT). Among these, over 1 million of totally impoverished
people (1 in 4) are children.
Along with the poverty of these families come enormous problems for children and minors such as
school drop-out and malnutrition.
Our projects in Italy are based on a participatory approach with complementary involvement of
public and private sector partners. Our efforts concentrate on fighting educational poverty, working
essentially on two fronts: inclusion in education and global citizens education.
We work with schools of every type and level to help children and adolescents to be more aware of their
own rights and more sensitive to the violation of children’s rights in the world; to exercise citizenship
in an active and responsible way, by becoming factors of positive change in the world and in society;
by taking care of health, starting with a good relationship with food from not only a biological point of
view, but also socially and in relationships.
