Mission, Goals, Values

A Voice For Padre Pio is an international, humanitarian organization: secular, non-political, multi-confessional, and a not for profit group. Inspired by the earthly mission of Padre Pio:

"The Relief Of Human Suffering" in body and in spirit,

our work abides no distinction of sex, race, religion or politics.

A large family in constant expansion that involves many people driven by the same spirit of charity and love at the service of our neighbor.

The poor are not only those who do not have economic resources, but also those who need attention, care, a word of comfort, and to be heard, to be understood and not be judged; it is the sick that are left alone, and the elderly who have no one to care for them.

MISSION

This organization is born of the will of its founders to create a project based on concrete support for the development of the human being who lives in extreme economic and social poverty. The individual is the beating heart, the soul, at the center of our Organization.

Recently, Pope Francis himself has asked lay humanitarian organizations to be "an Active Response for the Development of the Human Being".

GOALS

"To combat social inequality through concrete actions aimed at improving the social status of the individual, without any distinction of race, sex, political or religious affiliation".

THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES:

Helping people towards development does not mean

"violating their identity, transforming their traditions or ways of living".

Our way of intervening in Third World countries does not consist in "upsetting" the habits of the population, but in educating people about progress; respecting their traditions, their customs and their differences. Helping a people to develop means being ready to put the basic principles of cooperation back into play, adapting them to the place, to the social works that are being created; changing the objectives according to the concrete needs of the land in which it operates.
