Italy

Italy is a European country renowned for its art, history, and architectural beauty. From its great cities to its small villages, its cultural heritage is remarkable. However, although many imagine that all of Italy enjoys great prosperity, the south—including Naples—faces a different reality.

In this region, economic challenges, unemployment, and a lack of opportunities affect many families. These difficulties especially impact children and young people, who often grow up with limited resources, less access to educational and developmental programs, and a deep need for hope, guidance, and purpose in an increasingly secularized environment.
