We're on a mission to provide a chance in life to at-risk youth throughout the world.

children have been impacted

Migrant youth from over
20 countries
​have come to our Towns in Italy.

In 2019, together with local partners in
Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, we served 
1,104 boys
​and 870 girls
​living in the most marginalized and impoverished communities.

 In 2019,
150 boys and
​330 girls
​had access to food, shelter, an education and the support needed to thrive in Ethiopia.

1,534 boys
​and girls 
in our programs in India have received an education, nutrition, shelter and are active participants in their communities.

75 years ago,
 our first Town was founded to support the thousands of war orphans living on the streets of Italy. Since then, we have expanded to 4 continents to serve youth in some of the poorest regions on the world.

"Until every child is free from hunger and suffering, we have no right to stop."
-Monsignor Carroll-Abbing, ​Visionary Founder
