A 39 year-old journey

“Solidarietà Provagliese” is a social non-profit organization born in 1985 thanks to the idea of Curate Danilo Vezzoli, working in Provaglio d’Iseo at that time, and a small group of volunteers wishing to help local disadvantaged young people to find a job.

Originally work resettlement was only for drug-addicted people. Then, as time goes by, the social and economic unease had been changing and as a consequence our Cooperative had to develope a new kind of service, in order to adapt itself to new demands. Nowadays it gives employment to several physically and mentally disabled, long-time unemployed people and workers near to retirement too.

Since the beginning the aim of all initiatives and activities of "Solidarietà Provagliese" has been that of helping people in need: the first group of partners were provided services mostly by volunteers,  like the management of canteen for elderly persons, the transport of disabled people and the tidiness of some school buildings; afterwards they opened a small laboratory for the assemblage of electrical pieces and soon later they even took over a whole engineering workshop, where finally job creation for the disadvantaged has become possible. ....to be continued
