Medacta for Life Foundation is proud to continue its “One Gift for Every Child” initiative – a fundraising campaign that has been running for several years, supporting less fortunate children and young people in our community. The donations will benefit children at the CEM Centri Educativi Minorili (Minor Educational Centers) in Canton Ticino, as well as to unaccompanied minor asylum seekers hosted in the Red Cross immigration centers (Canton Ticino Division).
Goal of the Christmas Fundraising Campaign
For several years, Medacta for Life Foundation and My School Ticino have aligned efforts on this important charity campaign.
The funds raised will go directly to children and young people hosted in care facilities or helped by specialized organizations where they receive care and education, especially when family support is absent.
Specifically, the proceeds will be donated to:
• CEM – sheltered facilities, open 365 days a year, 24/7, that host children and young people who need to temporarily leave their family context due to social, educational, and/or psychological issues. There are far over 300 minors aged between 0 and 18 sheltered in the CEMs in Canton Ticino, the majority of them in residential care.
• Red Cross migrant reception centers, specifically to unaccompanied minors housed in these centers, who number 218 children and young people in Canton Ticino alone.
Each center will allocate the funds received for the purchase of goods towards individual guests or the building: a doll, warm clothing, reading books, board games, or even a foosball or ping-pong table for common areas.
If the fundraising campaign exceeds our expectations, we have already identified other facilities/organizations that will benefit from the donations. We will keep you informed about the destination of the proceeds.
