Foundation Alfonsina Costanzo

A smile for a brighter tomorrow.

Together for children in paediatric oncology: we support them throughout their days in hospital, and we stand against every form of gender-based violence—because love leaves no bruises, imposes no silence and knows no chains.

Together for children.

We were founded out of a desire to offer support, companionship and moments of happiness to children facing illness, fragility or hardship. The initiative is rooted in the belief that caring for children should not end with medical treatment, but should also protect their emotional well-being, dignity and every child's right to experience moments of joy. So that illness may never deprive a child of the joy of being a child.

Toys

To play, imagine and keep dreaming, even during the days spent in hospital.

Electronic devices

To stay connected, learn and feel closer to the people they love.

Books and colours

To read, draw and give imagination room to grow through words and colours.

Holiday smiles

Gifts delivered at special times of the year to bring warmth to their days on the ward.

Every gift can become a smile.

Play, closeness and connection can help make time spent on the ward a little lighter.

Against violence against women and all gender-based violence.

Alongside its projects for children, the Foundation promotes a culture rooted in respect, autonomy and women’s dignity. We condemn every form of physical, psychological, economic, sexual and digital violence.

Our commitment is to help foster awareness, listening and support, encouraging dialogue and cooperation with qualified professionals, associations and specialist services.

No woman and no man should ever feel alone.
