Our activities in this area are grouped under two main projects: the "Children Without Borders" project and the “Mario Bedussi” project. The former was created with the specific purpose of offering health and social assistance to children in need and their families, both within a national and an international context. The latter, on the other hand, was created with a focus on coordinating efforts with other no-profit organizations that share our same  assistance purpose.
