For nearly 70 years, every euro donated to Specchio dei tempi has been transformed into concrete and immediate projects to help those who are suffering. We believe in timeliness: we know that when there is an emergency it is not enough to do good, it must be done quickly. And that emergencies are not just earthquakes and floods: even grocery shopping can become one, for a family left jobless with an empty fridge.
We believe in transparency and have been telling the story of our solidarity initiatives step by step since 1955. How they come about, who funds them, how we spend the money we receive. What dreams we have and what needs we listen to at our counters. Thousands of people come to us to ask, every month. Thousands more, to give.
We believe that every penny counts, and we always respect the wishes of our supporters: their passion for a specific intervention, their desire for reserve, their joy in giving and sharing. This is why we have always collected and published the messages we receive along with the donations. They are words full of love, which make those who suffer feel less alone, and make us work with even more enthusiasm and more responsibility. We have 85 active projects in Turin, Italy and around the world, a miracle made possible every day by the generosity of donors from 70 countries. We like to say thank you and we never tire of asking: help us help!
Every donation, no matter how large or small, can be a light of hope for those who need it most
