WHO ARE WE?

"Being and Giving Family in the World"

Azione Famiglie Nuove is an international non-profit organization, and also active in Italy. We were founded in 1998 and since then we have been cooperating for the free and integral development of every person, community and people, beginning with the most fragile and disadvantaged in the world. Since 2005 we have been an authorized body for International Adoptions by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in Italy.

We dream of universal brotherhood. A world where every person, none excluded, has their rights recognized and where every child can find the warmth of a family.

MISSION AND VALUES

We support the family, which for us represents the place where human relationships can flourish according to the principles of hospitality, reciprocity, gratuitousness, solidarity and dignity of the person.

With the commitment we carry out every day in Italy and in 46 countries around the world, we concretely support children living in conditions of vulnerability and poverty and their families.

With international adoptions, we give a family to abandoned and lonely children. With networking, we carry out socio-economic support interventions, social projects and training activities, and promote civic engagement for sustainable development with a human face.

TRANSPARENCY

We believe in the value of transparency. We work with strategies to ensure the measurability of results by clearly and simply communicating the tangible impact of our interventions. Each year we publish our Annual Report online so that it can be freely consulted by our Benefactors, and anyone interested, as a tool to reflect on our goals, stimulate us to grow and engage in dialogue.

A HISTORY OF ACTION

Our history is rooted in the New Families Movement, an emanation of the Focolare Movement. We were founded in 1998 but our action began in the late 1970s.

Throughout these years we have carried out cooperative interventions and projects, dedicated to children, families and their communities of reference and we have grown together with them.

PARTNER NETWORK

AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK FOR A UNITED WORLD

There is a multiplicity of vital worlds with which we build relationships of fundamental value to effectively and sustainably realize our goals. New Families Action’s network of partners is made up of many realities: Associations, religious movements, institutions, companies, foundations, university institutes, third sector entities. But our strength lies in our local partners, present and active in more than 43 countries around the world.
