The General Consulate of Italy in Geneva, in agreement with the Italian Embassy in Bern, launched the initiative to help people aged over 80 in financial distress, in the cantons of GE, VD and VS, through a bi-annual distribution of food vouchers of CHF 100.-preventing the purchase of alcohol and tobacco.
The Threestones Foundation helped to reach the target of CHF 100,000 for this project which supported many elderly people in social difficulty, immersed in their solitude and often abandoned by their families. Over 50’000 seniors could benefit of the initiative and it has been an incredible success.
The feedback has been extremely positive ,and a new program will be launched in 2024. It has been an honor to be able to have such an impact on the community.
