Mission: implementation of the humanitarian activities of the Community of Sant'Egidio.
Friendship among people of different nations and cultures is the everyday way to express this international fraternity. In a world which, at the end of the second millennium is raising barriers and emphasizing national and cultural differences so much that they become the cause of old and new conflicts, the communities of Sant'Egidio testify to the existence of a common destiny not only for Christians, but for everybody. All the services of the Community of Sant'Egidio are services to reconciliation and peace. Thus the emphasize on peace that is common to all the services of the Community. "Nobody is ever so poor not to be able to help another": this principle inspires great part of the humanitarian work of the Community of Sant'Egidio, that promotes a culture of solidarity wherever it operates.
