Oly one family in three homes
ASPEm goes the third mile
ASPEm home base is in Cantù, Lombardy
The headquarters are still the same since 1979: via Dalmazia 2. Everything starts here, in a space for sharing and designing where ideas come to life. It’s ASPEm heart.
We are in te province, but we have a global view. That’s also why, maybe, we believe so much in communities and in solidarity gestures that, no matter how small, have in them the power to change the rules of the game in the whole world.
Our door is always open for whoever wants to participate, for an hour of for a year. Sometimes it just takes the time of an espresso.
Since the very beginning, ASPEm has focused its efforts on the marginalized neighborhoods of the city, in contexts of extreme poverty and social exclusion.
Over the years, we have built relationships and initiatives, developing community projects focused on gender approaches, human rights, capacity building, and risk management.
Social justice remains our primary goal.
It is through the relationship with the community of El Alto (La Paz) that ASPEm initiates its projects, addressing environmental and social issues.
We have promoted the recovery of resilient traditional crops, the protection of fragile ecosystems, and the reduction of the impact of productive activities.
We support innovation while preserving tradition: this is our way of protecting the environment and communities.
