OUR HISTORY
Who is Carmela Fassi?
The Carmela Fassi Foundation was created in honor of an extraordinary girl with Down syndrome who inspired her family to break barriers and strive for a more inclusive world. Her legacy drives us to close the gap of inequality and provide vital support to those who need it most, directly in our community.
