About us
CESVI is an Italian NGO founded in 1985 and headquartered in Bergamo, Italy. Committed to humanitarian aid, social justice, and sustainable development, CESVI operates in over 20 countries worldwide. The organization began working in Syria in 2023, responding immediately to the devastating earthquakes with emergency assistance.
Since then, CESVI has implemented several projects in Northwest Syria, strengthening the local education system through school rehabilitation, continuous PSS support, and incentives for teachers and staff. Following the change of government, CESVI expanded its operations beyond Northwest Syria and initiated activities in the south (Dara’a Governorate), supported by an upcoming AICS-funded project, with plans to extend interventions to Rural Damascus. Looking ahead, CESVI aims to strengthen protection systems (with a focus on child protection and MHPSS), rehabilitate essential community infrastructure, support emergency livelihoods and climate-sensitive early recovery efforts, and expand partnerships with Syrian civil society to promote localization.
