The Gilda Cersosimo Association was created to harness the power that Gilda used to help others during her illness. It doesn't matter where, when or how, but "the important thing is to do". And we started with her last Instagram post on 29 December 2021, after her oncologist told her there was nothing more to be done.
The Association is nonpartisan, democratically structured and non-profit and, inspired by the Christian principles of the Catholic Church and by civic, solidarity and socially useful purposes, aims to:
Promote an ethic of caring for people by valuing interpersonal relationships to stimulate social change for the benefit of the entire community;
combat loneliness and psychological distress by promoting social relationships through witnessing to the Christian faith;;
support the education and training of young people to help them acquire skills that will enable them to participate in community life as free, independent and knowledgeable individuals;
combat poverty, early school leaving and the risk of exclusion of people in vulnerable situations, in collaboration with public institutions and private social organisations.
