The DIANA ODV LUISA ROMANO voluntary association was established in 2018 with the aim to pursue – on a non-profit basis – civic, solidarity and socially useful purposes. The activities of the voluntary members are carried out in compliance with the values characterising the Association: solidarity, responsibility, integrity, transparency and humility.
With the volunteer members’ commitment and thanks to Yamamay, Carpisa and Miriade, which donated goods to the association that were no longer marketable, Diana ODV continued its fundraising activity through events, held both at Casa Diana (4 events) and at external locations (1 event in Geico, Cinisello Balsamo).
Each event was characterised by the presentation of one or more projects to support charities.
Among the various activities that reflect the objectives and values fundamental to our mission, Casa Diana continuously supports anti-violence centres, non-profit organisations and group homes, focusing on the needs of women and children in difficulty and fragile people, as well as engaging in prevention campaigns through the involvement of doctors and volunteers in collaboration with the LILT and ANT Associations.
The information sharing and involvement of members and supporters, also carried out with the help of the Association’s website (dianaodv.org) and social awareness campaigns through social media platforms, has allowed the collection of donations totalling €46,157, in addition to €3,260 in donations from our supporters.
The funds raised through the five events were donated to the following Associations:
