A place to turn to for anyone who needs a community
Di Sana Pianta APS is a social promotion association working in Palermo for social inclusion, welcome and community support.
Born from the commitment of a group of volunteer guardians
We are a social promotion association born in Palermo from the commitment of a group of volunteer guardians of unaccompanied foreign minors. From there something bigger grew: a network of people who, with different skills, work every day to actively promote social inclusion in the city.
We believe that every person, if supported in the right way, can grow «di sana pianta» — healthy roots, new opportunities. That is why we put time, listening and skills at the service of those going through difficult times.
The values of our association
Shared growth
Every journey of welcome is also a journey of growth, for those who receive help and for those who offer it.
Community first
No one should face difficulties alone: we build networks of mutual support between people.
Rooted in Palermo
We work in the old town, close to people and to the real needs of the area.
Valeria Antinoro — President
The association is led by Valeria Antinoro, who together with the group of volunteers coordinates the daily work of welcome, listening and community support.
