The Locomotiva ONLUS is a non-profit social cooperative focused on educational and training activities that promote Active Citizenship Education, Tutoring for Peace, and non-violence through community development projects. Since its inception in March 2000, it has been primarily active in the Neapolitan area. The organisation originated from experiences in volunteering, the third sector, social commitment, and cooperation with associations such as the "Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani (AGESCI)," Chaotic Action, and various volunteering organisations.
I thank JFC Naples and the organizers of the event for making a dream come true for our kids
In cooperation with the 5th Municipality of Naples, the Locomotiva ONLUS provides "Territorial Education Laboratory Services" supporting children aged 6 to 16 who face significant socio-economic and cultural challenges and are assisted by Territorial Social Services. Their educational project aims to bridge the gap between local society and high-level institutions, highlighting the social importance of government bodies dedicated to the common well-being, peace, and security of all individuals.
The cooperative’s tutors include educators, sociologists, psychologists, economists, social workers, and volunteers committed to developing a just and supportive community that recognizes and meets the needs of its members.
During the visit, participants were given the opportunity to cool off in the swimming pool of the Morale Welfare Activity (MWA), where the staff provided excellent assistance, ensuring a memorable day.
“I thank JFC Naples and the organizers of the event for making a dream come true for our kids,” said Mr. Danilo Tuccillo, the legal representative of the cooperative "The Locomotiva is a non-profit organization that has for years committed to fighting educational poverty and social emargination. It does this by taking care of adults, children, teenagers and families who have a hard time in financial, social and cultural terms. All this is made possible by the great commitment of our workers and our volunteers but also of those who, from any walk of life, have decided to contribute to our mission.”
