Building a World of Inclusion and Opportunity

At Salva Vita Foundation, we believe in a world where everyone has a place, a role, a task, and where every individual is inherently valuable. Our vision is rooted in creating a society where disabled and non-disabled individuals coexist visibly, each playing a vital role in the community. We are on a mission to help people with disabilities live fulfilling lives, fostering their independence and enabling them to become active and valuable members of our society.

3. Recreational Activities: We offer recreational facilities and activities such as sports, arts and crafts, table games, and other forms of entertainment.

4. Educational Programs: We host educational programs, workshops, and training sessions to support the educational and personal development of young individuals.

5. Counselling and Support Services: We provide counselling and support services to address the unique challenges and concerns faced by young people, including mental health support and employment.

6. Peer Support Networks: Creating opportunities for the formation of peer support networks, fostering a sense of belonging and friendship among young individuals.

7. Youth-Led Initiatives: We intend to involve young people in decision-making processes, allowing them to take the lead in organising events and activities, promoting a sense of ownership and empowerment.

Overall, our youth house plays a crucial role in enhancing the well-being and development of young people by providing a space where they can learn, grow, and connect with their peers and the broader community.
