Description de l'organisation

Maria Cecilia Cooperative, born in 1989, operates through actions aimed at mitigating and overcoming social problems. Our operational experience in the design and management of social services began in a poor district of the city of Biella (Piedmont Region - Italy) where, in collaboration with the municipality of Biella were activated pre-business courses for young people in distress and troubles. There were therefore born in the city services such as youth centers.

In twenty years, Maria Cecilia Cooperative has gained experience in the management of care services, rehabilitation and animation for the elderly and disable pleople, working with several local institutions (nursing homes, day care centers, schools, social services, etc..).
