The solid collaboration between cameo and SOS Children's Villages continues and is renewed; starting this year, the food company from Desenzano del Garda supports the Organization in a new project aimed at promoting the psychological well-being and professional development of the operators who provide service in the SOS Children's Villages of Vicenza and Ostuni.
Since 2012, cameo has supported SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest organization dedicated to supporting children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care, through many projects aimed at helping the organization implement services for children and young people who cannot count on the support of their families to grow up. After more than 12 years of collaboration, cameo has deemed it important and necessary to extend its commitment by supporting other projects to make the valuable work of SOS Children's Villages even more effective.
In recent years, the phenomenon of burnout has become increasingly common within professional communities, especially in the health and social sectors: a real psychophysical syndrome whose triggers are excessive workloads, stress and the desire to maintain a high work performance capacity, even at the expense of health. It is precisely to respond to this type of emergency that SOS Children's Villages has structured, starting from the specific requests that emerged from the collaborators of the SOS Village of Ostuni, an action plan aimed at promoting an adequate level of psychological well-being of educators, volunteer workers and young guests and cameo, always attentive to this type of needs, has thus decided to embrace this cause by supporting the Organization in the implementation of this support plan.
This type of intervention is also accompanied by another project, which Cameo will promote, aimed at strengthening the training of the staff of the SOS Village in Vicenza, with training courses to provide specific content and tools that guarantee an ever-increasing quality of the services offered by the Organization as well as promoting the sense of belonging of the numerous volunteers who offer their time and commitment in the SOS Village.
These initiatives are in addition to cameo's consolidated support for the Youth Project towards AutonoMIA, which for years has been an important point of reference for many young people who are entering the adult world and who find themselves facing numerous challenges. In this panorama, the work of SOS Children's Villages is precious, also in consideration of an alarming aspect represented by the early school dropout by very young children which - according to what is highlighted by the ISTAT Noi Italia 2024 report - involves approximately 13% of males and 7,6% of females.
