Social Responsability

Lene Thun Foundation

A concrete initiative supporting communities and local territories

Gifrab Italia S.p.A. launched a charitable campaign in Sicily in collaboration with the Lene Thun Foundation, supporting pediatric oncology patients hospitalized in Palermo and Catania. The initiative was created to provide tangible support for the well-being of young patients and their families during treatment, while also strengthening ties with the local community.

The campaign, active from September through the holiday season in all regional stores, directly involved the local community by giving customers the opportunity to contribute through a donation at the point of purchase. A simple gesture, integrated into everyday life, capable of becoming an act of closeness and support for the most vulnerable.

Thanks to the participation and generosity of numerous customers, the initiative raised €160,000, allocated to funding the ceramic therapy workshops promoted by the Lene Thun Foundation.
These workshops provide an important opportunity for expression and relief for children: through working with ceramics, young patients can give space to their emotions, experience moments of normalcy, and face the challenges of illness and hospital treatments with greater serenity.

The project contributes to the humanization of care and the creation of lighter, more welcoming spaces within pediatric wards, complementing medical treatment with an educational and relational experience of value.
The collaboration has also strengthened the presence of these workshops in the hospitals of Palermo and Catania, which are part of a national network active in numerous pediatric wards thanks to the support of volunteers and donors.
