GVC - GVC

Description

GVC is an independent secular organization that has been working towards a better, more equitable and fair world for the past 40 years.

GVC is convinced that the fight against injustice in all its forms - the abuse of power, human rights violations, the continuing existence of slavery and exploitation, and the expropriation of natural resources - is an essential ethical and moral obligation.

GVC has chosen international cooperation as a means to carry out development and humanitarian aid projects in favor of the dispossessed and those stricken by wars and natural disasters.

GVC operates according to a philosophy granting beneficiaries the leading role in project actions so that they become the true agents of their own progress.

GVC promotes advocacy, information, and awareness campaigns about the issues faced by development; connecting Italy, Europe, and the countries in which it operates abroad.
