We work within clearly-defined parameters: our goal is to protect people's fundamental rights, from survival and social development to protection and education, with a particular focus on children. Health is a fundamental human right – and health promotion is a key factor in supporting children's growth and development. The challenge addressed by the Eni Foundation focuses primarily on developing countries and supports individuals and communities experiencing vulnerability, where:
- individuals or families face economic, social or housing hardships
- mothers and children require quality healthcare services, including emergency obstetric and neonatal care
- the percentage of children and adolescents is particularly high
- children are more vulnerable due to difficult living conditions
- children often do not have access to healthcare, education, proper nutrition or adequate hygiene and sanitary conditions, and are subject to violence and abuse.
