Epsilon is a not for profit association born in October 2004 from a group of friends to help children all around the world, particularly concerning health, nourishment and education.
The name comes from the Greek letter “epsilon”, which means something small at will. It represents our mission of doing micro-projects, tangible and identifiable.
We operate according to some basic principles:
• to have zero general expenses (considering free time of
volunteers, 1 euro given is equivalent to 2 euro of help destined)
• to maximize the aid for each euro given
• to pursue industrial criteria in project management
• to focus our energy in realizing projects rather than
raising funds
