FONDAZIONE CARITAS VITTORIO VENETO ONLUS

description of organisation

FONDAZIONE CARITAS VITTORIO VENETO ONLUS (FCVV) has been founded in 2016, as the operative arm of the Diocesan Caritas of Vittorio Veneto, the pastoral branch of the Church of Vittorio Veneto. It is a no-profit organization that answers the call of the bishop to promote charity with a commitment towards raising public awareness.
FCVV is connected to the Diocesan Caritas and is committed in their daily activities to support the most vulnerable people. Caritas and FCVV are engaged in many areas including peace, old and new forms of poverty, volunteering, civil service, immigration, mental health, socio-professional inclusion and homelessness. Moreover, as part of the diocesan Church, FCVV works to raise awareness on issues around charity, care for those in need and it promotes the importance of concrete actions for the poor.
The organization coordinates various initiatives and charitable actions, inspired by Christian values and Church teachings. It is engaged in many projects to help poor, disadvantaged people and in cooperation with any kind of people, regardless of their religion, faith and ethnic origins. We also organize and coordinate emergency responses to disasters in the diocesan area and abroad.
We carry out research on the causes of poverty and provide analyses concerning those in need, which can encourage civil institutions to take the appropriate actions through legislation or actions. Moreover, we provide training for staff and contribute to social development by awakening public opinion, offering services, financial help as well as by coordinating the initiatives of the various groups and movements inspired by Christian values.
FCVV works alongside several other Christian and laical organizations. We are linked to other local Caritas all over Italy in order to share public campaigns of awareness, activities for poor people, educational and training courses for staff members.
