Our Mission

EDUCATION  -  EMPOWERMENT  -  SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Education is a vital human right, enshrined in the Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Thanks to social inclusion, our goal is to guarantee our children the access to fundamental rights:
the right to live and develop, the right to an identity, the right to healthcare, the right to education.
