The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is taking its charitable projects to Florence thanks to a new partnership with the Istituto degli Innocenti Foundation, for the benefit of disadvantaged children and families.
At the initiative of the Consulate of the Principality of Monaco in Florence, the Istituto degli Innocenti Foundation ETS and the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation intend to launch a joint project that aligns with the missions of both organisations, aimed at supporting children and families in the Florence area who are living in disadvantaged situations and are cared for by local services.
The Istituto degli Innocenti Foundation ETS provides support for the socio-educational activities of the Istituto degli Innocenti in Florence, developing projects in collaboration with other entities to benefit children, adolescents, and families, while promoting the rights of children and adolescents.
The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation works to protect and ensure the safety of children in the field of swimming, promoting water safety and the development of education through sport.
From next year, a joint project will be created with swimming at its core, highlighting its importance as a socio-educational tool and a means of socialisation, and to promote learning to swim as a means of prevention in aquatic environments.
Since its establishment in December 2012, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has supported and financed educational projects internationally. Over 12 years of action and prevention, more than 2,000,000 people in 44 countries have benefited from over 600 of the Foundation’s programs. This initiative represents the first project undertaken by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation in Italy, marking a significant step forward in its mission to promote education and prevention through sport in Italy.
