Completed Projects
With Soleterre and ZaporukaUkraine: A Rose in the Dacha
Since July 2019, Ukrainian families with children with cancer have a real home to live in while being treated in Kiev, with free high quality services. This is an extremely effective service, which Rosa Prístina, Soleterre, and Zaporuka are very proud of. On March 3, 2022, the war forced the Dacha to close for an indefinite period, and since then funds from the project have helped to bring the young patients to safety in specialized hospitals in Europe to continue their treatment, and where we can still give their families some financial support.
For CNR-Monasterio
Ecmo-Mobile: The new pediatric super-ambulance for Monasterio
An off-the-shelf ambulance with Ecmo equipment and the most advanced equipment, to transport, even in critical vital condition, all pediatric patients from neonatal incubator to adolescents.

Let’s make a home – the right to grow up!
From September 2019 to February 2023, this project enabled young people with Down syndrome to manage their daily life independently and to be socially integrated in a path towards housing autonomy.
A Rose at the time of Covid-19 emergency
In 2020 the Covid-19 epidemic has changed each and everyone’s lives. It is not only a public health crisis but an economic one, causing financial hardship and extreme poverty. And so we couldn’t just stand idly by and do nothing, simply “stay at home”…
We had support Caritas, the charitable arm of the Diocese of Pisa, as well as the Hospital and the Local Health Authority of Alessandria.
With Soleterre
Lviv, Ukraine: A Rose Against High Risk Cancer
The aim of the project is to set up a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in Western Ukraine. This will improve the treatment of complex cases of pediatric oncology by providing equipment and specialized training, as well as megachemotherapy and state-of-the-art techniques for stem cell collection and transplantation.
With Soleterre and Zaporuka Ukraine: Casa Soleterre in Neslukhiv
On the outskirts of Lviv, a dilapidated hostel was rebuilt in just a few months and transformed into a modern building with 30 small apartments housing families of refugee from the Donbass regions. Around a hundred people – mothers and children – who have lost everything, now have a roof for the winter. A concrete sign of reconstruction in the midst of devastation.
