GVC

GVC is a non-governmental, secular and independent organisation established in Bologna in 1971. GVC works to bring back dignity to entire communities threatened or deprived of their basic human rights by fighting poverty and injustice and working with individuals, civil society organisations, local institutions and governments to provide access to water, food, health, education and work, while protecting the environment. Even in hum​anitarian emergencies, GVC works with the intent of establishing the foundations for reconstruction and development. To this end, each project is organised so that every community discovers within itself the resources necessary to become self-sufficient and independent. 

Alongside international cooperation projects, GVC also carries out important work in education and awareness in Italy and Europe:  organising seminars, workshops for students and teachers, exhibits and the Terra di Tutti Film Festival, as well as advocacy campaigns on relevant issues such as the right to food, migrations, fair trading practices and the promotion of human rights.
