SOS VILLAGGI DEI BAMBINI TRENTO

“SOS Children's Villages” Special Award

The SOS Village of Trento was founded in 1963 with the aim of welcoming children and adolescents in conditions of family and social hardship and of offering an adequate path of psycho-physical growth aimed at returning to one's family or towards dignified integration into society.

To date, 350 children have been welcomed in the village, some for long periods, others for a short time. It is important to recognize the potential of children who must be guided and accompanied on their journey towards independence and towards becoming active members of society. A great job to ensure that children can establish a relationship based on love, respect and safety with those who care for them.
