the communion of goods
helping the poor
The first goal of the EoC is fighting misery (we prefer not to call it "poverty") as a way to build a more just and brotherly world. The EoC proposes to people who are in economic distress or in any form of poverty (concerning education, civil rights, etc.) a helping hand based on the subsidiarity principle and, most of all, on reciprocity. The "poor" is first offered a new relationship, then material aid steps in. The first care is the relationship itself.
The EoC indeed is not meant to be a project of assistance, but a project where by the community solves its own problems, "subsidized", helped by the profits of the companies. For the outlining and implementation of the aid projects the EoC collaborates with AMU
, a NGO which has been working in the field of development for more than 20 years.
