  A.N.P.I.L. : Amici Nella Promozione Internazionale Lasalliana
 

our name

We were on the look out for a term that would remind us of our maiden mission in Haiti; and we happened on 'ANPIL',

which in Haitian dialect stands for "plenty". Actually, several are the objectives we have in favour of the needy.

 

our Logo

A stylized child embracing a world – that’s our BLUE and RED logo, akin to the Haitian flag.

 

our motto

"It is never too late for a child to have a childhood"

This declaration by Kofi Annan sums up our objectives: may a child have back his stolen infancy

who we are

A.N.P.I.L has been a legal association in Italy since 1998.

 

A no-profit organization with a regular membership of the Registry of Voluntary and Non-Lucrative Social Utility Associations, known by their Italian acronym ‘O.N.L.U.S.

The main objectives, among others: cooperation activities aimed at favouring development in Third and Fourth World countries.

A.N.P.I.L started its operations in 1991 in an informal fashion and was later converted into a legal entity in 1998.

The Association saw the light of day as part of the Istituto Gonzaga in Milan, the educational branch of the Christian School Brothers Religious Congregation, founded in 1680 by San Giovanni Battista de La Salle, the  Patron Saint of Educators.

The life and works of the Saint have been the guiding light and inspiration of  A.N.P.I.L; in particular, a great deal of attention was paid to destitute and orphaned infants, their literacy and educational processes which are indispensable for human growth.

As a matter of fact, the Association is housed within the premises of  Istituto Gonzaga.

Although A.N.P.I.L is based on Catholic values, it’s doors remain open to all those who would like to 'join the fray' for helping the less fortunate, irrespective of any ideological, religious and political hues: in other words, A.N.P.I.L welcomes all people of  'good will'!

 

where we work

Amongst the schools and Missions established world-wide, the Christian School Brothers have been operating in  Haiti (Port de Paix) through the mission "Notre Dame de Fatima"; in Mozambique (Beira) through "Escola João XXIII"; in Paraguay (Pozo Clorado) through the mission "San Isidro Labrador".

Our group has interfaced with the above-mentioned missions over a long time, specifically regarding:

- Distance Support  for over 800 "Street Kids" in order to offer them decent living conditions as well as educational facilities in their own city
- Logistic and educational Support  
for local volunteers ("Les Rosettes" in Haiti and a great deal of teachers in  Mozambique and Paraguay) dealing with the educational and moral upbringing of the adopted children   

- Micro-development Projects  in aid of local communities through the set-up of dedicated structures (e.g. job centres, Shelters for the Needy...)
