The most profound need of every child and every person is to know that someone cares him/her and is his/her life, and to be loved in a unique, personal, individual and continuous way.
Sharing life with children implies guaranteeing and safeguarding their rights. It also implies helping the child to develop individual awareness, self-determination ability, positive relationships and solidarity with others.

The Association has developed different forms of interventions throughout the years. Some of these forms have been widely experimented and can be considered to be ‘exportable models of intervention’ which can be implemented in different parts of the world. 

Such interventions are: 

The Association “Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII” promotes the best interest of the child, according to the Convention of the rights of the child (CRC) and defends the rights to life since conception, to have a family, to education, to health, to active partecipation, and so forth..

Position Papers on the Right of the Child

The Association is on the forefront in the promotion of the rights of children in a comprehensive approach: family, education, life, and health.
