We are a voluntary association working since 1996 with child sponsorship and aid to the people of Ethiopia.

We support the mission Kidane Mehret in Adwa, where, together with the missionary nuns of the order of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice) and thanks to the help of various benefactors, we work to give hope and economic independence to a population scarred by years of war, famine and serious deficiencies in the health care system.

 
We are approved by the governmental authority as a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION since 12.12.2000.
 
We’ve also been recognized as juridical personality by the Prefecture of Ferrara by Decree n° 264
