Mission Bambini’s Star in Catania
The context in numbers
+1000
families in Librino have applied to social services and the municipality for housing
Mission Bambini's intervention
Each Star offers an educational project built on the real needs and requirements of each child attending the Center.
Special attention is also given to families: each Star has the option of establishing a Fund to support those living in absolute poverty, which has been worsened by the current pandemic and energy crisis. Access to the fund is based on the presence of objective parameters related to the socio-economic situation of families, but it is also based on their willingness to participate in psycho-pedagogical parenting support programs. The main objective is to strengthen the educational role of families, leading them to become an integral part of “educating communities”.
