" IL NOCE " is a volunteer association operative since 1986 with a goal:

- Contribute to guarding the rights of minors that are in difficulty, and find themselves with problematic family situations. We therefore need to prevent these cases of social handicap.

- Education and valorization of a peaceful charity like attitude

 

 

“Il Noce” has a Christian base: it is expression of an effective collaboration between the Christian nuns of the “Provvidenza” religious order that on a daily basis assist minors in difficulty. No matter what personal beliefs, religion, skin colour, political views our members may have, we collaborate together united to help children .

- SHARING: as a method of intervening
- FAMILY : as a natural growing space
- TERRITORY an important resource
- TRAINING our volunteers so that they can be as prepared as possible

Our main solutions for minors in difficulty:

- social-educative afternoon support groups, aimed purposely towards young children and adolescents that are still going to school and have residence in the municipality of Casarsa, and that have learning difficulties or a difficult family situation.

- Momentary shelter in a residential complex (family homes) for minors between 0-8 years of age

- Foster family network: made up of couples that have fostered into their homes a minor and are willing to temporarily host and care for a child that is at the moment without a family that can take care of him/her.

- Adoptive family network: formed by couples that are preparing themselves for a national/international adoption.

- Long distance adoptions: operations managed by the “Suore della Provvidenza”, a religios order of nuns, which is associated with us and which operates in different missions throughout various southern countries. Its aim is to guarantee primary needs such as nutrition, healthcare, and education.
