A better world and future have always been built through knowledge and education, and when these are valued and assumed, in a solidarity effort, at the level of society, things change, and the projections become reality. This is what Salvati Copiii has been doing through the Christmas Trees Festival for over 20 years: it gives voice and power to vulnerable children who, once supported at at the right time, they know how to capitalize on the support they receive. For over 20 years, we have been assiduously implementing integrated programs that have become models of best practices in breaking the cycle vicious of educational poverty. We will continue with the same tenacity until the last child who needs help," according to Salvati Copiii.In the 23 previous editions, more than 9 million euros were collected, money intended for the access to education of vulnerable children.
