Our Mission
We fight poverty and inequality to help build a more just, inclusive, and accessible society. A concrete commitment to creating a House of Peace founded on the dignity of every person, following the path laid out by Antonio Emanuele.
Our Vision
From Antonio’s notebooks
Imagining and building the House of Peace
Starting from a pencil drawing by young Antonio Emanuele, building a House of Peace means, for us, transforming social reality from a source of deprivation and insecurity into a place of protection and opportunity, while providing every person with the tools to become the primary agent of change in their own life.
Our Mission
What Matters Where It’s Needed Most
Fighting Poverty and Overcoming Inequality
We are committed to fighting the unfair mechanisms that deepen economic, social, and cultural inequalities. Every day, we work to break down the barriers that prevent the achievement of shared prosperity. Through five programmes, we operate across all areas where the mechanisms of poverty and inequality take shape, in all their forms.
Our Motto
Charitas Omnia Vincit
Charity as universal love
Charity as universal love, embodied in our motto, expresses a force capable of overcoming every material and spiritual obstacle. A fundamental principle of the Order of the Minims of Saint Francis of Paola, it reflects our commitment to seeking solutions that arise from the heart, inspired by the life and message of Antonio Emanuele.
Our Approach
A New Way of Doing Non-Profit
The responsibility to give back, the courage to generate
We believe in the transformative potential that emerges from vulnerability. Inspired by the life and message of Antonio Emanuele, we have developed the paradigm of Generative Giving Back: an innovative approach to non-profit action for a future no longer driven solely by profit, but capable of recognising and enhancing the multidimensional nature of human development.
Our Values
Inspired by the young life and the testimony of love of Antonio Emanuele, we nurture the values that guide our work every day.
Charity
We believe in charity as the highest expression of recognition and acceptance of others. We place the dignity of every person at the center, responding to the needs of the most vulnerable with care, presence, and love.
Transformation
We work to promote deep and lasting change, capable of challenging the root causes of inequalities and generating a real long-term impact on the local communities. We do not simply aim to address emergencies; we work to build new, sustainable, and fair social and economic models.
Dialogue
We consider dialogue the fundamental tool for overcoming barriers, building bridges, and fostering a culture of peace. Through dialogue, we create networks of trust capable of supporting genuine and lasting cooperation.
Community
We believe that the community is the place where individuals discover the value of shared responsibility. We work to transform local areas into spaces of welcome, cooperation, and belonging, committed to enhancing local resources and placing the most marginalized and vulnerable geographical areas back at the center.
