Worldwide, the Association has opened 550 different centres, of which 298 are family homes, and runs several projects, which aim to address the different needs of vulnerable people.

WHAT WE DO:
Assistance, protection and reintegration of disadvantaged people. People in need are offered temporary and/or permanent accommodation and through this are ensured: individual and relational skills development, assistance and care, psychological and spiritual support and reintegration and socialisation programmes. The type of residential facility offered is the so-called ‘family home’, which is based on the basic elements of the natural family. The beneficiaries are: abandoned children, children with disabilities or victims of domestic violence, adults with disabilities, homeless people, Roma, immigrants, women who are victims of trafficking.
Drug Prevention and rehabilitation of drug addicts through counselling centres and therapeutic communities.
HIV/AIDS and malnutrition prevention and treatment in developing countries and areas with a high rate of HIV/AIDS infection and malnutrition (e.g. Sub-Saharan Africa).
Peace and nonviolence education, promotion of conscientious objection to military service and promotion of national and international civilian service for young people (a nonviolent alternative to the army). The Association, through its nonviolent peace corps ‘Operation Dove’, works non-violently, placing itself between parties at war or in conflict, mediating and protecting civilians, minority groups and refugees. Operation Dove has worked in Israel-Palestine, Colombia, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Chiapas (Mexico), the Balkans, Chechnya, Georgia and Timor Leste.
Vocational education and training for the integration of disadvantaged people in specialised work structures.
Support of formal and non-formal education through: funding schools developing countries for children living in geographically inaccessible areas, children from ethnic minorities, street children, and children with disabilities; setting up and supporting adult literacy courses; setting up and running educational and recreational activities for children and adolescents belonging to vulnerable groups.
Food security and poverty reduction. Interventions to reduce extreme poverty and hunger, such as: supporting income-generating activities, including microcredit projects for women and agricultural development programmes; supporting feeding and therapeutic programmes for children with malnutrition; supporting and organising education for mothers/guardians in HIV and nutrition, hygiene/health practices, and water and sanitation practices.
