About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

“Associazione Casa Famiglia Rosetta Onlus”, headquartered in Caltanissetta and with many different branches all over the Sicilian territory, among them ours in Mussomeli, was born in the early eighties to meet local needs in the field of health and psycho-social services policy. Since 1981 the association has been settled by the agreement with the National Health Service, as regards to the rehabilitation services and therapeutic communities for drug addicts and residential communities for AIDS patients; with the Ministry of Justice, as regards the activities concerning the therapeutic communities and lodging houses for minors. During these more than twenty years activities, the Association has been expanding its sphere of action in Italy and abroad, also reaching Africa and Brazil, where it runs centers with the same activities it implements in Sicily. The main aim of the association is to give concrete answers to those who suffer marginalization and social exclusion. Our branch, in the spirit of the entire association, has a constant need: to put the person at the center of its efforts implementing more and more services in order to meet people and their families health and quality of life needs.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
