“There is a world that would like millions of dollars and another that dreams of one, a day, to eat”
International Help was founded in 1995, but in the previous year a group of friends, mostly frequent travelers, tried to organize themselves to bring aid, even small but effective, to populations in difficulty in poor countries. Some of them are doctors and it is precisely from health care that the story of International Help begins. The main fields of intervention are in the areas of health, infrastructure, canteens and soccer. It seems paradoxical but the reality is that football is, in a neighborhood totally lacking in social and cultural structures, with a very low level of schooling, the only real opportunity for aggregation as an alternative to gangs. The canteens are set up to support poor children and elderly people in difficult conditions and need. The wells, houses, sewers and stairs, the reforestation of deforested areas, everything is necessary for those who have nothing.
The association is interesting because given its small administrative structure is able to make all the donations collected reach their destination.
