ONG COMI

The COMI is a non-governmental organisation, composed of professionals and volunteers who lend their commitment and professionalism to implement projects in countries in the South of the world and in Italy. It was founded in 1973, out of the experience of the Cooperatrici Oblate di Maria Immacolata (COMI), a women’s missionary institute with a long-standing presence in Africa. The following year it joined Focsiv, the Italian Federation of Christian Organisations of International Volunteering, and obtained recognition from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2016 it obtained recognition as CSO – Civil Society Organisation from the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation.

COMI’s Mission is to take charge of integral human development in the world’s poorest countries by promoting their autonomous and conscious growth, respecting different cultures and favouring an equal exchange of values
