What we do

Our work

Six areas of activity, to answer the real needs of the people we meet every day in Palermo.

We are a listening point for women, boys and girls who need to be welcomed, guided and supported.

We organise play activities for children and teenagers, combining sport and shared moments of fun.

Welcome for young foreign people

We welcome young foreign people who have left reception centres and have nowhere to live, in a flat confiscated from the mafia — a concrete gesture that turns property taken from crime into an opportunity for life.
