Founded in 1982 and recognized as a charitable trust with legal personality, it is a Non-Governmental Organization (N.G.O.) eligible for international development and volunteering. Since 2004, Co-operation and Development is part of the Italian Federation of International Voluntary Service's Christian Organisms (Focsiv).

There are specifically ongoing projects in the:

• Wash sector: through the drilling and rehabilitation of wells and the training of professional local staff as pump mechanics;
• Health sector: supporting Loputuk and Tapac dispensaries;
• Socio-educational sector: through recreational activities in the Youth Center of the Moroto compound, the provision of school lessons to 3 to 16 years old children, as well as the training and awareness-raising against certain practices that are still present in those areas, such as children and women exploitation;
• Agricultural/livestock sector: through the establishment of a veterinary laboratory, of agro-pastoral schools in the field and the Multi-sectoral Center of Rural Development of Loputuk.
• Support to local communities which are already in the territory, through donations of food and non-food items.

Through these interventions, the purpose is to help the communities face their state of need and to accompany them along the path to their development by giving the people the necessary means to learn and grow independently.
