A CONTRIBUTION FOR THE THIENE SOLIDARITY HOUSE

In 2021, Coem sponsored the initiative of the “Lions Club Thiene Colleoni” in creating new spaces inside the Casa della Solidarietà (Solidarity House) in Thiene, Vicenza, a sheltered facility housing women and children in difficult situations.

The primary objective was to create a beautiful and safe environment, dedicated to play and study, where children can breathe joy and tranquillity.

MORE WELCOMING INTERIORS IN THE ‘SAN PIETRO PESCATORE' COMMUNITY IN AFRICA

Help for children and families in Sierra Leone was made possible by joining an international development cooperation project in Sierra Leone in 2021 through H.E. Charles Edward Tamba, Archbishop of Freetown. Coem contributed to the completion of a series of building works involving the construction of a new school, reception area and church for the Community of ‘San Pietro Pescatore’ (Tombo), enabling these people to meet in more suitable, welcoming and healthy environments.

WOOD-EFFECT PORCELAIN STONEWARE TO REFURBISH THE SPACES OF THE JANUA COELI MONASTERY

The Monastery of the Carmelite nuns in Cerreto di Sorano, Grosseto, bears the Marian title of “Janua Coeli”, i.e. “Gate of Heaven”, and those who arrive here find a place of welcome and prayer in which to retreat for a few days, in an atmosphere of peace and recollection. Set in a fascinating natural environment, the Monastery is structured in various spaces for hospitality and sharing, some of which have been repaved with wood-effect ceramic surfaces, in perfect harmony with the building’s historical and natural context.

NEW FLOORING FOR THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION APEA

Coem supports APEA (Pontestura Association of Ecology and Art) a voluntary organisation in Pontestura, Alessandria, by supplying ceramic tiles for the redevelopment of an old portico overlooking the community garden. This space, historically known as ‘The Garden of Eternity’, is a meeting point for the local population and is regularly visited by the village’s schools and families as it also offers a playground for children. The project to renovate the building adjacent to the garden made it possible to extend the area with suitable flooring, keeping it sheltered from the weather, so that it can be used for meetings, outdoor educational activities, play workshops for children and for many other activities carried out by the Association.
