Centre for asylum-seeking
families with children in Italy
SUMMARY
The centre run by Fondazione L’Albero della Vita (FADV) provides
assistance to families with children seeking asylum in Italy and
those eligible for relocation to other EU Member States. It goes
beyond accommodation and material support, aiming to provide a
foundation for long-term social inclusion.
Families living in the centre receive a range of specialised services
including psychosocial and pedagogical support, education and
healthcare, legal aid and employment counselling.
The project aims to respond to the individual needs of the families
and to equip them with the tools to become self-sufficient by
ensuring their participation in the preparation of family plans.
FADV operates in strict collaboration with the contractors – the
Municipality of Milan and the Prefecture of Milan – and works
with CSOs, local school and social services for implementing
specific project activities. The project also implements activities
to raise awareness and engage volunteers from the local
community.
