CESVI - Italian humanitarian organisation
Cesvi, established in 1985, is a secular, independent Italian association, working for global solidarity.
In the values guiding Cesvi, the moral principle of human solidarity and the ideal of social justice are transformed into humanitarian aid and development, reinforcing an affirmation of universal human rights.
Cesvi strongly believes that helping the underprivileged in developing countries, or those in difficulty due to war, natural calamities and environmental disasters, does not help only those who suffer, but contributes also to the well-being of all of us on the planet, our 'common home'that needs to be looked after for the sake of future generations.
In the acronym Cesvi, the words 'cooperazione e sviluppo'(Cooperation and Development) underline the fact that Cesvi bases its philosophy on the idea of giving the recipients of aid a leading role, working together for their own natural benefit.
