The Mission of St. Anthony’s Charities
We fight for the right to a better future
St. Anthony’s Charities is the non-profit organisation through which the friars of the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua promote projects of charity, solidarity and development throughout the world.
St. Anthony’s Charities and local projects
“To be there where all hope is gone”: this is our mission. We want to reach the “poorest of the poor” by promoting projects that are tailor made for the local communities, and which are requested specifically by the communities themselves, with a strategy aimed at development rather than simple assistance.
St. Anthony’s Charities fights for a right to a future
Health, education, access to water, promotion of the rights and dignity of people are at the centre of our efforts, even if our work also extends into many other fields. We try to help the young especially (children, teenagers and students) by building a better future for them, their families and their own country.
