Amici della Zizzi

Foster care is a gesture of love that saves a child's life.

The main purpose of the Amici della Zizzi (Friends of Zizzi) is to intervene and welcome children at risk. At the center of all social activities, there is a Baby or Child coming from difficult family situations.

In Italy, thousands of children are considered "at risk", while there are still too few families available to give foster care and welcome a minor into their home for longer or shorter periods.

Since 1987, the Amici della Zizzi have been in the front line alongside the families in situations of socio-economic hardship that ask for help. They welcome minors in difficulty into their own structures. These children have been reported by social services, courts and by the families themselves.

At the same time, the philosophy of foster care is being constantly promoted so that an increasing number of children can also be welcomed by other families.
