FAMILY AND WORK

There can be multiple reasons behind job loss: a complex time, a life difficulties or simply unemployment caused by the economic crisis or pandemic we are going through. "Family and work" is aimed at men and women who struggle to find a relocation in the workplace and who, thanks to this social project, have the concrete possibility of having a job that is synonymous with social redemption and rediscovered dignity.

The socio-educational project, conceived and carried out together with the Diocesan Caritas of Foligno and its operational branch of the Arca del Mediterraneo Foundation, has made it possible to help 23 families in the area through the activation of work grants, that is, work paths lasting two to three months offered to one of the members of the family, concrete work experiences that in some cases have turned into stable job opportunities.

The birth of the project in collaboration with Caritas of Foligno

On 5 September 2017, on the occasion of the International Day of Charity and the anniversary of the death of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the "Family and work" project officially kicked off.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Caritas Foligno Listening Center, a reference point for in-depth knowledge of the local context and monitoring the needs of families, the first ten people who could start this work experience were identified.

An evolving inclusion project

Since that day, the "Family and work" project has evolved and renewed with the aim of giving more and more concrete help to people in need in the area:

The stories of redemption

The word dignity recurs over and over in the stories of the project’s protagonists who we have met in recent years. Antonio, who told us his incredible story, found it. It was among the words spoken by Leonardo an unemployed father with two teenage children. He told us that his work grant, activated for the first time in UMBRAGROUP, a private company, has become a permanent employment contract.

And there is also Bianca, who has a past marked by drug addiction and prison, yet, having access to a job grant truly gave her the possibility of a new beginning.

You too can be an active part of the project! How? DONATE TODAY!

Thanks to you, more and more family members will be able to acquire a job and regain their dignity in these difficult times.
