About Us
The Proxima Social Cooperative a.r.l. is an ONLUS Cooperative of the "MIXED A and B" type established in 1999, when it started its activity by managing a service for minors at the former Nato’s base of Comiso, aimed at the minor children of Kosovari refugees.
Proxima is registered in the second section (ex third) of the Register of Bodies and Associations that carry out activities toward immigrants, established at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, as established by Presidential Decree 394/1999 (Articles 52,53,54), an inscription that demonstrates the adequacy of the institution to implement the integration and social protection programs destined to victims of trafficking and serious labour exploitation.
From April 2003 Proxima carries out projects aimed at victims of trafficking pursuant to ex art. 18 of the T.U. on immigration and art. 13 of Law 228/2003, through the funding provided by the Department for Equal Opportunities and co-financing of Local Authorities.
