In Rome, donated clothing is made available to immigrants. In a real store.

I live here, charity

The solidarity boutique I live here, opened in Rome by Caritas, is available to poor families and immigrants who cannot afford to buy clothing.

Thanks to the support of IPAB Asilo Savoia, which has made approximately 90 square meters of space available free of charge on Via Monza, a shop has been set up, open to the public, offering clothing items donated and refurbished by residents of Caritas facilities, as well as handmade items and accessories, for a nominal fee.

How does the boutique, which is definitely worth a visit, work? Anyone can donate clothes they no longer wear, knowing that a third of our wardrobe consists of items we don't use and never will.

Once collected, and not wasted, these clothes they are sold in the solidarity boutique I live here and with the proceeds the Caritas funds courses for immigrants and refugees. who intend to dedicate themselves to tailoring. The fight against waste thus expands, moving from material goods to the most vulnerable, who have the opportunity to learn a trade, start a business, and integrate into our communities. It all starts with a gift. So let's make a wish: one, a hundred, a thousand solidarity boutiques. I live here.
