FOCSIV is the Federation of Christian International Voluntary Service Organisations, today it includes 80 organizations operating in over 80 countries around the world.
Since its birth in 1972, FOCSIV and its members have employed over 20,000 international volunteers who have made their human and professional contribution available to the poorest populations. A concrete and long-term commitment to development projects in the socio-health, agricultural-food, educational-training, protection of children and adolescents, defense of human rights and gender equality and institutional strengthening sectors.
Africa Mission – Cooperation and Development joined FOCSIV in 2004, embracing its values and taking part in various campaigns. From 2006 to today our Movement has taken part in the campaign ''We RICE for a serious thing'', with which we intend to promote family farming in Italy and around the world.
In 2016 our Movement also promoted the campaign ''The right to remain in one's own land'', a campaign born on the occasion of the Jubilee of Mercy and proposed by the Italian Episcopal Conference, with the Mission Foundation, Caritas Italiana, to promote and guarantee everyone the right to remain in their own country and live in dignity.
