Accommodation for children, adolescents and young people at risk in collaboration with the families in view of a future reintegration in their families and an active social role. Through the encounter with the youth in the streets and by recognising their actual needs, the volunteers help them create secure relationships and offer them a possible and attractive alternative to street life by connecting them with relevant institutions and social programs or by encouraging their return to the biological family.

The project aims at gradually creating a family atmosphere through the presence, when possible, of social parents, and establish in this way a climate of attention and affection that can restore some stability to their lives.

Ongoing projects
