OUR MISSION AND APPROACH
6
Throughout 2017, the Foundation has continued
the implementation of its programs in the key
intervention areas. In our daily activities we
continuously offer the needed support to our
beneficiaries so that they can have access to a
good quality education in primary, secondary and
vocational or professional schools. The feedback we
receive from our network of partners, trainers, local
staff, beneficiaries and communities confirm that we
are going in the right direction and that we are able
to make the difference for the people we reach.
Our approach is based on a holistic village model
that together with the scholarship programs
empowers our beneficiaries and their communities
for a more sustainable future.
The motto of Pistorio Foundation is “On the way to school, on the way to life.” On the basis of this concept
we have elaborated our daily mission which is to improve the living conditions of children in the poorest
communities, where there is the greatest need, with a key focus on education. Following this strong belief,
the Pistorio Foundation has been able to provide scholarships to over 3.500 children, while over 513
students have completed their schooling from primary to professional school, obtaining a professional school
diploma.
The starting point of the Village Approach is to give access to education to all children of a given community
with a particular focus on the most unprivileged and marginalised groups such as those in remote rural
areas.
The Pistorio Foundation will not only provide education to its direct beneficiaries, but it will also take care of
the needs of the village by providing ad hoc health, hygiene and agricultural programs that can promote the
well-being of the entire community, helping it to grow in a sustainable way.
