For many years, we have proudly supported and continue to stand alongside Amref Health Africa, the leading African health organization, sharing the vision of a world where the right to healthcare is truly a right for all, not a privilege for a few. Our support focuses on integrated initiatives aimed at improving access to water, promoting female empowerment, and strengthening local health systems, translating these goals into concrete projects on the ground.
Among these, the Erripo Oontoyie program combats female genital mutilation through community-based actions that ensure access to safe water and adequate sanitation facilities. By providing three scholarship grants and constructing rainwater harvesting systems, we contribute to improving living conditions while supporting Amref in promoting, together with local policymakers, laws and regulations to end this practice.
Another program we support, within the framework of our collaboration with Amref, is the HEAL Project (One Health Units for Humans, Animals, Environment and Livelihoods), which strengthens the health and resilience of communities in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. By integrating human, veterinary, and environmental interventions, HEAL provides essential healthcare services, maternal and child care, vaccinations, veterinary support, and training for local operators, reaching even the most remote areas.
As in past years, we will continue to support FAI – Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano by adhering to the corporate membership programme, Corporate Golden Donor.
Alongside FAI we want to implement an important protection project which also represents an ambitious cultural challenge: to make Italy a better place in which to live, work and raise our children. The landscape and cultural heritage, safeguarded and promoted by FAI, is a capital that has no equal in the world and represents an essential resource in which to invest with a view to fostering the renaissance, development, and valorisation of our wonderful country. Thanks to the support of its numerous members, comprising private individuals and companies, for 50 years Fai has safeguarded and managed 68 Assets distributed throughout Italy. Important historical and artistic sites, as well as landscapes have been salvaged from a past of neglect, to be restored, protected, and opened to the public.
Every day, FAI undertakes to protect and make accessible to the public the splendid gems of art, nature and culture scattered throughout the rural areas, cities, and coasts of our country; to educate the population, particularly the younger generations, to know, respect, and care for art and nature, so that they may promote the interests of society by taking an active part in local activities.

Since 1964, the Lega del Filo d’Oro has been an iconic presence in Italy operating in the ambit of assistance, education, rehabilitation, and recovery, as well as the valorisation of residual potential and the support of research into greater autonomy for those who can neither see nor hear.
The Lega Filo d’Oro belongs to a network called “Azienda Oltre i Limiti”, consisting of charity organizations that support the rehabilitation of deaf-blind multi-sensory impaired children. Our contribution enables them to follow a three-week session under the supervision of an interdisciplinary team, as part of a programme called “Early Treatment” in order to intervene at an early age on residual vision and hearing and to start a personalized rehab course.
Treedom is the first web platform in the world enabling remote tree planting and online project tracking. Since its foundation in Florence in 2010, more than 2,000,000 trees have been planted in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Italy. All the trees are planted directly by the local communities (to date more than 100,000 farmworkers have taken an active part in the projects) contribute to generating environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Our Greenperforming Forest can now count on 3,000 trees which, in the course of their lifecycle, will absorb 5,439.60 tons of C02.
