L’Albero della Vita does it in Italy (at national level) through activities to welcome the child and mother-baby units, giving the disadvantaged, at high risk of social exclusion, concrete opportunities for a new life. It also promotes social inclusion of foreign children, in five regions through curriculum integration of linguistic and cultural awareness on children’s rights, development and sensitivity to the living conditions of the countries of the South, active citizenship and social solidarity. It does it in Europe (Romania) promoting actions to support education, educational materials to labor migration orphans being left behind and their migrated families, as well as lobbying, research and awareness actions on issues of poverty, social inclusion and promotion of a child culture. It does it in the World (India, Peru, Indonesia, Kenya, Congo) supporting children in their basic needs but even more creating opportunities for promoting their education and future profession and improving their social, political and economic order to offer better opportunities for development and personal growth.
