About Chicco
Chicco has always been wherever there's a baby. And above all wherever there's a baby who is denied the security and serenity of a family. Chicco is well aware, in fact, that a good parent-child relationship provides the foundations for happiness, especially when they grow up. Happiness which the children living in diffi cult or inexistent family situations in Italy also have a right to. Chicco has been collaborating for over 10 years with the Ai.Bi. Association, Friends of Children, an international humanitarian organisation that defends the rights of minors and their fundamental rights to have a family. And happiness. Our wish? To give every child the chance to spend his childhood in the warm arms of a real family. The effort and commitment shown by Chicco over the years has been constructive. Tangible. Effective. The 5 family homes opened has made it possible to provide assistance to children and, above all, guarantee them medical care, sporting and recreation activities, educational support and psychological and social care. It has sustained the needs of foster families. It has promoted the culture of fostering at various levels as the best solution to solve the problem. And above all, it did so in an consistent manner. With passion and en-thusiasm, year after year. Result after result. The project symbol is the Chicco di Felicità (Seed of Happiness), a medallion that is so easy to wear as a sign of one's pledge to support the world of children and the tangible commitment to help fi nd a family for all those children who don't have one. The Chicco di Felicità (Seed of Happiness) can be found in all Chicco stores and purchased with a donation of just 3 euro. Why don't you wear one too and join the many testimonials who have already contributed to helping so many special children. The more we are, the more we can achieve! Because happiness is a seed that is generated by small gestures. If we cultivate it, it will grow into a plant which sprouts a marvellous fruit.
