Description of organisation

Clad was born in 1987 and developed its first interventions in favor of the families of drug addicts, through self-help groups, managed thanks to the fundamental collaboration of a very active group of volunteers.

Since July 2012, the CLAD has also been a Type B Social Cooperative and therefore focuses on the professionalism and competence of its operators to create job opportunities and social reintegration for people with disabilities or those with other forms of hardship, in particular by promoting internet services and websites creation. The search for new productive sectors as a type B social cooperative is constantly evolving.
