Social Housing for struggling women in Milan

Dear Donors,

Over the summer, Tuendelee Foundation enthusiastically continued its activities to support the families of Melzo who are most in difficulty from an economic and social point of view. Within Tuendelee Home, the Foundation offered cooking and sewing courses, creating practical learning opportunities for adults and children. In addition, pleasant moments of reading were organized in the park, involving the most fragile and vulnerable of the community. These meetings represented an opportunity to share stories, and emotions, strengthening the sense of community and inclusion.

Moreover, during the summer, Foundation Tuendelee successfully concluded the path of a mother-child unit within the social housing project, which achieved autonomy and began a new phase of their life with greater independence. At the same time, we were happy to welcome another family unit made up of a mother with two children, who, however, was discharged at the beginning of September following a change of project. Currently, one family is waiting for a housing assignment from the municipality, and we are confident they will soon receive a positive response. Another family has already obtained a new house and is completing the move to the Municipality of Pioltello. These results demonstrate our constant commitment to accompanying families toward greater autonomy and stability.

In the meantime, we are working hard to extend our network of collaborations in the area. In particular, together with Aleimar, we are starting new projects with other local organizations. We aim to expand the range of services for the most vulnerable families. Among new initiatives, we plan to activate a homework space for children and teenagers and organize thematic meetings for parents to provide concrete and continuous support to those who need it most.

Finally, we are happy to announce that our community dinners and events will resume soon. These moments of conviviality and sharing are essential to strengthening bonds between people and creating a space of aggregation where everyone feels welcomed and valued.

Thanks to your constant support, we can continue to carry out initiatives that have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of many families.

Dear Donors,

We have great news to share with you! Tuendelee Foundation has seen the expansion of a family unit hosted at the accommodation in Melzo (MI) because a lovely little girl was born. Thanks to the support of our partner, her mother will be assisted and accompanied by professional educators in her daughter's growth path, guaranteeing them a home to live in, economic and psychological aid and integration into the local community.

Furthermore, renovation, maintenance and painting work have been carried out in many apartments. In this way, hosted families will be able to live in increasingly welcoming places to meet their everyday needs. We are also happy to announce that Tuendelee Home has welcomed and will support two new family units: one composed of a mother and her little girl and another consisting of a mother with three daughters and her grandmother. We wish the best of luck to these new families and a future full of hope!

In recent months, various initiatives have been organized. In collaboration with the association Campo dei Sogni and the Itinera project, children hosted at Tuendelee Home have created a vegetable garden at Mascagni Park, in this way they are made aware of the love for greenery, animals and nature. The experience in the garden is a gift of play and joy, a place to learn emotions that make them strong, free, calm and independent. Furthermore, an event entitled Beyond the Eyes, inside the Body was held on the topic of violence against women. Through this initiative, a cultural and sensorial exhibition on the stories of violence against women was created to raise awareness among citizens. From an exhibition of clothes to voices and videos of women who tell stories, to "talking objects" and much more: an interactive and inclusive journey structured in different frameworks to directly experience everything that is not seen or heard in the stories of violence.

Because of the summer holidays, Tuendelee Home will host children and teenagers by organizing various activities such as cooking and tailoring workshops.

Thank you for continuing to believe in our work!
