25 YEARS OF SALUTE E SVILUPPO ACTIVITIES
The History of Salute e Sviluppo – It was founded in 1996 in Turin as a non-profit association; in 2001 it was transferred to Rome to the General House of the Camillian Order, in piazza della Maddalena 53; in 2002 it was recognised as a non-profit organisation with legal status by the Prefecture of Rome; in 2003 it was recognised by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an NGO (non-governmental organisation) qualified for international cooperation; since 2016 it is present in the List of Civil Society Organisations at the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation; with the law of 3 July 2017 – Code of the Third Sector – and the registration in the National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS), it assumes the name of Third Sector Entity (ETS). In 2001, Salute e Sviluppo became the Camillian Order’s NGO and was transferred from Turin to Rome, following the General Chapter’s decision to identify the need for a representative non-governmental organisation and chose Fr. Efisio Locci, former President of Health and Development, to implement this motion. In 2011, the Consulta meeting with the Major Superiors decided to include the Camillian Task Force (CTF) in SeS, forming a single office with several areas. The 2013 General Chapter chooses the Order’s Generalate as the headquarters for Health and Development and establishes missionary projects as the main field of intervention, in coordination with the Provinces and the supervision of the Mission Consultor.
The mission of Salute e Sviluppo– Operating in the spirit of Christian humanism, which places man at the centre of all action, recognising his rights and duties. Our commitment is to guarantee the right to life as an inviolable rule, the right to health as the overriding concern for our actions. With our projects we aim to fight poverty and hunger in the world so that everyone can eat their daily bread and drink clean water. We strive so that mothers do not die from health and structural deficiencies and so that every child can go to school and live his or her childhood in a full and carefree manner; so that every man can be free and enjoy life in full dignity and peace. The motto that sums up our activities is: cure the sick and increase human development.
Activities – In this publication, we present all the activities of the last 25 years, related to areas such as health, education and food self-sufficiency. We would like to take this opportunity to thank, with special gratitude, all our co-workers with whom we have shared our efforts, hopes and joys, and all those who, by helping us, have enabled us to achieve good.
