Who we are

Was a great year for us, it was the year we took off

After a lot of hard work, dedication and passion, the founders shaped Flying Angels and after a short while the Scientific Committee , which is a vital part of evaluating cases, was founded.

The first lifesaving flight

Flying angels received its first phone call, about a boy named Rame. He was just 36 days old and almost risked dying from a congenital heart disease. The challenge began, and a flight that would later save his life, was donated to Rame. From Pristina (Kosovo) to Genoa (Italy), he was taken to Gaslini hospital for children to be operated. The operation lasted 9 hours and today Rame has a new life. We could not be prouder, to see him growing up along with all the other children that, like him, flew with us.

The first medical team

The first medical team of 5 sanitary workers landed in Eritrea.

96 children were helped.

A year of growth: 350 children flew around the world to be cured.

The foundation radius of action, which has an international voice, keeps on growing. A first doctors flew to Peru and an American one flew to Italy to operate on little Sofia, who is healthy today. An equipe flew overseas, for the fist time, towards Salvador, Brasil: in one week 57 children got access to lifesaving cures. Overall, during the year, 7 Equipe flew for on-site medical care, helping 186 seriously sick children.

Medical teams increases

11 medical missions flew. The goal is not only to act locally and specifically save little patients but also to help, train and collaborate with medical staff there.

The foundation strengthens its social role

Flying Angels celebrates its goal of having helped almost 1600 children and having organised 45 medical staff. We are grateful and we thanks all those who have helped and supported us during our missions.

In 2017 the campaign "1000 thanks" was launched to celebrate the goal of having helped 1000 children.

The Medical staff in Afghanistan register the highest number of interventions ever made with Flying Angels, with 76 children operated on, in just one week.

Our challenge continues

The number of requests is growing and even our will to fulfil all these needs is too, by responding positively to all the non-profit organisations in the world that signal cases and stories of children who are desperately waiting to be cured.

The scientific committee grows, welcoming 2 new medical volunteers.

A difficult and important year

2020 represents a very complex and difficult period for Flying Angels, due to the consequences of Covid 19 desease, which impacted so strongly on the activities of the Foundation, both in terms of flights and in terms of fundraising. As a reaction, a process of continuous update and monitoring on the situation, toghether with a strengthening of stakeholder relations allowed the Foundation to keep on operating.
Finally, 68 childres made to fly and had a chance for a new life.
During 2020 Flying Angels released its fist 'Bilancio Sociale'.

A new beginning

Despite Covid 19 impact on all aspects of life and business, Flying Angels keep on in pursuing its mission, adapting processes and procedures to the new contest.
New way of managing stakeholders relations and a digital boost are the starting point for approaching a new year, with the aim of allowing around 113 childen to fly for their life and reach, overall, since the Foundation was born, the important goal of over 2000 life saved.
