The CIRS Casa Famiglia

The CIRS Casa Famiglia ETS has been operating in Messina for over seventy years, offering shelter, protection, and pathways to independence for women and minors facing situations of vulnerability and violence. Throughout its history, it has combined its social welfare work with a constant commitment to promoting culture as a tool for inclusion, personal growth, and community development.

The organization carries out initiatives that emphasize the value of beauty as an educational, social, and relational experience, promoting projects dedicated to culture, work, training, and civic participation. Through awards, meetings, and activities open to the public, CIRS fosters opportunities for dialogue on the themes of responsibility, education, and empowerment, involving institutions, businesses, schools, and local organizations.

Rooted in the city of Messina, CIRS helps build a network of relationships that combines social intervention with cultural promotion, based on the belief that protecting individuals also involves nurturing the talents, opportunities, and human capital of communities. This commitment continues to make culture a tool for participation, inclusion, and change.
