Relief Efforts in Italy
CARE worked in Italy between 1946 and 1965, delivering CARE Packages of food, tools, woolens and to provide trainings.
CARE returned to Italy in 2019 to work with partners to help migrants in Ventimiglia, conducting individual and group interviews for legal guidance and addressing services for a total of 100 persons per month; distributing relief kits; and holding workshops in primary and secondary schools on citizenship. An important piece of this work was about integration into host communities, and advocacy to influence local authorities with best practices in migrants in transit.
