The project has the dual purpose of offering the possibility of accessing “basic” medical care to young mothers and their children, and promoting the autonomy of mothers themselves in the capacity to care of the children.

There are 120 women – some Italian but mostly African and North African – who are unable to manage even the most basic health problems. Experience teaches us that with appropriate targeted health and relational accompaniments , these young women acquire greater autonomy in the management of health problems, do not turn “excessively” to the emergency room, and grow their own children.

The intervention involves the contribution of various professionals (doctors, pharmacists, educators, psychologists, etc …). It is about establishing processes, rather than giving timely responses to health emergencies .

There will be interventions on correct food and hygiene practices, on the baby’s first symptoms, and also on first neonatal care , to ensure that the child himself can heal more easily and with fewer medications. We want to establish lifelong pediatric health education , which also enhances the educational skills of parents in the various developmental stages of their children. Also provided is a kit of medications necessary to put the acquired skills into practice. The donations collected will be used for food, drugs and aerosols, as well as for the expenses necessary for health education.
