Description

The project proposes a series of actions that lead to the achievement of general objective: promotion of volunteerism. The project responds to well defined challenges: 1. Lack of social projects dedicated to children coming from vulnerable groups: communities fighting poverty and exclusion. 2. Lack of projects that encourage volunteerism. 3. Lack of projects that promote environmental protection.

Fostering volunteerism 2. Fighting against social inequalities, poverty, exclusion in rural areas and discrimination. 3. Promotion of environmental protection and innovative methods of recycling 4. Development of the organizational capacity of the Pro Life Foundation. Expected results are related to the promotion of active citizenship.
