FRANCESCA PROCACCINI RESEARCH AWARD

OUR MISSION

The Foundation was born in 2021 from the dream of Francesca, a young girl torn too soon from the affection of her family and friends. During a trip to Tanzania, Francesca was deeply struck by the poverty that afflicts the majority of the population of the island of Pemba. She wanted to become a doctor and help reduce suffering and increase the well-being of women, children and the poorest communities on the island of Pemba.

From this noble dream comes the Mission of the Foundation.
