Un Raggio di Luce strives to improve the quality of life of underprivileged communities, with direct actions and targeted aid tailored to the real needs of individual people, families and communities.
The values which inspire us are:
Un Raggio di Luce avoids the use of images and messages that can create a stereotype, discriminate people, situations or places and / or create sensationalism and uses images, messages, and case studies with the full understanding, participation and authorization of the subjects involved (or parents of the subjects)
Un Raggio di Luce Onlus cooperates with various partners who work for the defense of human rights and for the support of global human development . Our partners share the reasons that inspired us, our vision, our values and the projects we guarantee. These people, associations, societies, and entities consider the ethical dimension of their activities a necessary condition for the global development of man.

2021, like the previous year, was a year of great challenges. We have continued to provide emergency grants in Italy as well and the geo-political conditions of the countries in which we operate have worsened.
In 2018 we helped over fifty thousand people with our projects, mostly women and children. Over 500 thousand euros have been spent on direct help activities for children and their families.
2017 was a year of consolidation for the Foundation. In fact, € 298.960 were disbursed for 33 projects in favor of children, women and men in Italy and in the world.
Questo rapporto racconta il nostro 2015, un anno di progetti, attività, sorrisi, emozioni ma anche di sofferenze, ingiustizie, violenze e morti. Un anno in cui nei principali Paesi esteri in cui operiamo si sono verificati eventi naturali o politico-militari in alcuni casi molto gravi, in altri addirittura drammatici.
Il rapporto tiene conto delle attività realizzate nel 2014 nei Paesi in cui la Fondazione Un Raggio di Luce è impegnata. Il documento racconta i progetti realizzati e i risultati raggiunti nell‘anno in cui la Fondazione ha celebrato i suoi primi dieci anni di attività, soffermandosi inoltre sui dati economici e le azioni di comunicazione.
