Mission

Our Mission and Values

We aim to support and promote human development in the world’s poorest countries by upholding the dignity of the human person in all its aspects. This includes carrying out emergency interventions, supporting local realities, particularly the local Church and Catholic missionaries, and implementing development programs across various social sectors, based on the principles of Christian humanism and full respect for others' freedom of thought and religion.

We are committed to promoting a lifestyle based on universal solidarity values and raising awareness in Italian communities about the issues facing poor countries.

Our Core Values Remain Consistent:

  • Going to Be Present
  • Going to Meet
  • Going to Listen
  • Going to Share
  • Going to Support
  • Going to Evangelize
  • Welcoming at Our Locations
  • Listening to the Poor
  • Respect for Humanity and Life
  • Attention to Poverty and Its Causes
  • Practicality in Interventions
  • Sharing Commitment, Efforts, and Responsibilities
  • Giving One’s Time, Skills, Resources, and Self

In this context, our approach aims to reflect the qualities we consider essential in humanitarian work: humility, poverty, and a spirit of service. This is embodied in what we call "the apron style."
