The agreement we signed – explained councilor Luca Fella Trapanese – can be used by those who decide to recover their debt situation and let themselves be helped by the Moscati Foundation and the Municipality's social services. The help is not just economic: the Foundation involves the entire family unit in a process that allows them to become aware of the problem they are experiencing and start a recovery."
“Our goal is to prevent wear and tear. We operate with funds allocated by the State and with donations and bequests. With these resources – underlined the Vice President of the Foundation, Giuseppe Di Cintio – we provide the guarantee so that banks can also grant loans to people who otherwise would not be able to access credit. The beneficiaries will have to repay the sum with an installment commensurate with their real possibilities. The agreement with the Municipality of Naples increases our ability to listen: the social services will be able to report cases of families in economic difficulty that they may have become aware of due to other problems".
