Who supports us

Lombardia

Il missionary group of Birone, a fraction of the municipality of Giussano in the province of Monza, has supported the activities of World Friends for many years. The group's initiatives, carried out mainly during the Christmas period, offer precious help, collecting donated funds every year for our projects in Kenya and Italy.

The Runsmile Amateur Sports Association Runsmile has been actively supporting the work of World Friends for years, in particular by promoting a training program for the annual participation in the relay Milan Marathon and by recruiting charity runners. Both through the training and the relay, Runsmile raises funds for World Friends projects and is an invaluable partner in organizing awareness-raising activities in the area during the marathon period.

Acqui Terme

In Acqui Terme there is the historical group of supporters of World Friends, which for 20 years has been tirelessly dedicated to organizing and promoting awareness and fundraising events The support of the CAI of Acqui Terme, which has always been an important point of reference for World Friends thanks to constant proximity to fundraising initiatives and events. The ascent of Mount Kenya, Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro have been important stages in our history.

Torino

In Turin the group of volunteers is mainly composed of doctors and health workers. Volunteers dedicate a few hours of their time each week to support the program's activities for the homeless Outpatient clinics Article 32. In addition to health-related activities, the group supports World Friends by organizing awareness, information and fundraising events.

Peaks Doc - World Friends

World Friends history has been linked to the mountain since its origins: the historic support of the CAI of Acqui Terme has created a strong bond between our association and the mountain, pushing us to create a dedicated group. The section "Peaks Doc - World Friends" was born with this spirit: it aims to promote outdoor and mountaineering activities, initiatives and sporting events, aimed at supporting cooperation projects and raising awareness of the synergy between these two worlds.

The testimonials

piero voluntary acqui terme
For me, supporting World Friends means bringing social "animation" to my area: it's a way to enrich people's minds and knowledge. I like to organize events where I talk about the World Friends projects and what they do in Kenya, because I think it's important to know these distant worlds, which are actually closer than one thinks. In my own small way, I like to help do something that has a positive impact on those in need of extra support.

I decided to become a volunteer as I believe this is good for the community I live in. When you're retired and have a lot of free time, committing yourself to make your daily life more meaningful is important, even better if it gives you the opportunity to use the skills you've acquired with your profession. It's a way of not wasting your past, present, or future entirely. The results you get are the motivation to continue, and knowing you can put your stone to remedy the deficiencies in the society around you is always a motivation too.

In Runsmile we share the passion for running, many ideas and many initiatives. We have been supporting World Friends for many years by participating in the Milan Marathon Relay. From a sporting point of view it is the culmination of many training sessions, from a human point of view it is the awareness that together we can support a good cause and, in our small way, help people who live in situations that are very different from ours. We put all our passion and commitment into it, trying every year to achieve together a goal in which we believe a lot.
