What we were able to do thanks to you

There are many years of history as well as interventions and actions that the Casa Costa Foundation ETS has been able to finance in the countries where it operates.

We've been walking alongside distant and nearby communities for years now, and looking back, the journey is rich with stories, encounters, and steps forward both small and large. Schools built, classrooms renovated, dispensaries supplied with medicines. Responses to emergencies that couldn't wait: earthquakes, humanitarian crises, wars that required urgent interventions. Support for children left alone, clean water where it was missing, vegetable gardens that gave food autonomy to entire communities.

 

Every project was born from listening to those who live in those territories, carried forward together with local partners who know the real needs and possible solutions. We've always worked with a clear idea: accompanying toward autonomy, not creating dependency. Respecting people's dignity, being transparent about how resources are used, taking responsibility for results.

 

In this section you'll find the memory of these years: projects that have marked our journey, especially in the international cooperation work that took us to Uganda, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and other places where we've built lasting relationships. Some of these projects continue in different forms, others have concluded leaving communities stronger and more autonomous.

 

Today our gaze is more focused on the territories we inhabit – South Tyrol and Tuscany – but we carry with us everything we've learned over these years. Every completed project is a root that nourishes what we do now.
