Being a Social Cooperative means putting people at the center, creating opportunities, and strengthening the social fabric of the territory. Our story is the result of a shared path between two organizations with extensive experience in inclusion and building more welcoming communities: Cooperativa Contatto and Cooperativa La Bonne Semence.
For over twenty years, we have worked toward a common goal: providing care, housing, and work to people in vulnerable situations through concrete and innovative solutions.
In 2023, the two cooperatives decided to merge in order to create a stronger and more integrated organization. This fusion is not just an organizational change but an essential step to expand our social impact and respond more effectively to the needs of people.
We chose the cooperative model because it is a type of business with a mutual purpose, founded by a group of people where everyone has an equal say in decisions: one member = one vote.
Any profit generated is not distributed among members but is reinvested in social initiatives and the services the cooperative provides in the community.
