VOLUNTEERING

Movement for Life

The Movement for Life is the Federation of more than six hundred local movements, centers and life support services and reception homes currently existing in Italy.

It aims to promote and defend the right to life and the dignity of every man, from conception to natural death, fostering a culture of acceptance towards the weakest and most defenseless and, above all, the child conceived and not yet born.

Initiatives:

  • “SOS Life”: it is a “life-saving” phone activated to save mothers in need and, with them, the lives of the children they carry in their lap.
  • “Project Gemma”: It is a long-distance prenatal adoption service of mothers struggling to complete the pregnancy and welcome their baby. Adopting a mom helps her baby to be born.
  • “The cradle for Life”: It is an initiative aimed at welcoming newborns, otherwise at risk of being abandoned or suppressed, in safety for the unborn and in anonymity for the woman.

Cilla onlus

The Cilla Association is a moral entity that takes care of the reception of the sick and his family.

The welcome is meant to be a sign of charity that becomes culture, a gesture of some people who, meeting the need of others, do not “assist”, but “share”.

The Cilla Association helps to solve the problems that arise when a patient is forced to move to cities far from their residence, where there are hospitals or specialized clinics.

Our intervention consists of a vast network of solidarity in much of Italy and in some foreign states, which is reflected in the establishment of reception centers within the Hospital Companies and in the management of Homes Reception where to offer a human companionship through the face of the most basic daily needs.
