Enlargement of “Stand Up!” Project in Italy
The project stands in between the areas of education and development, training students in secondary institutions in alternating school-work, and advocating the (re)insertion in the work force for unemployed people and people in search for work. We aim to increase the number of people benefiting from this project with courses, training on the job, and work periods.

Project of Job Training for Farmers, Mothers, and for Nutritional Development in Zambia
The success of the “Madre Terra” project pushes us further to replicate this great experience in the Siavonga district, in order to save the families of farmers from circumstances of extreme poverty (every family has 5 children on average).
Objectives: improving the fertility and productivity of the land/farming, develoing new/alternative crops with higher nutritional values, training mothers to fight back against malnutrition, creating income generating activities for the farmers.

Microcredit Project in Zambia
Small-scale famers and fishermen, women who dedicate themselves to commerce and open small business ventures: the economic development of a certain area is the first step in reducing poverty, humanitarian aid and the need or necessity to emigrate. Guardavanti wants to initiate a non-profit microcredit activity, that provide small credits to groups of people who do not have a fixed income (farmers, women, fishermen) in the Siavonga district – and give them a chance to initiate diverse activities which could generate income. Every family has 5 children on average.
