“NEVER GIVE UP”

Maria Bonino was a paediatrician from the town of Biella (Italy) who devoted her life to the care of African children. The Maria Bonino Foundation is committed to the development of projects for the protection of maternal and child health of sub-Sahara African countries.

Thanks to donations, and to the precious collaboration of other humanitarian Organisations, from 2006 to date the Maria Bonino Foundation has identified, supported and completed several projects, while many others are ongoing.

FOUNDATION AIMS

Understand. Find a solution. Never give up.

Health

We treat children in sub-Saharan Africa, especially those under the age of 3 and 5 kilos under, and we care at heart about the whole maternal and child area.

School

We support school, university and vocational education for deserving children who lack sufficient financial resources.

Environment

We intend to improve living and health conditions in homes and health centres by installing, for example, mosquito nets or by improving water connections and energy supply.

We fund studies and research on diseases such as malnutrition and infectious diseases.
