WeWorld
GVC is an independent Italian organization emerged from the union between GVC
NGO (constituted in Bologna in 1971) and WeWorld (founded in Milano in 1999),
with the aim of increasing the impact of Development Cooperation and
Humanitarian Aid projects in 29 countries, including Italy. We work to promote
recognition and respect of the fundamental rights of every human being,
fighting poverty, injustice and generating sustainable and durable
socio-economic growth models. We strive for a better world where everyone,
especially women and children, have equal opportunities and rights, access to
resources, to health, to education and to dignified work. A world in which the
environment is a common good to be respected and preserved; in which war,

economic and environmental crises, conflicts and inequalities, in which
Humanitarian Aid and Development Cooperation are more linked than ever.
