Case Valdesi and Waldensian Diaconia
We host travelers and use the proceeds to fund the Waldensian Diaconia’s social projects
Case Valdesi are nonprofit lodging facilities operated by the Waldensian Diaconia, a nonprofit ecclesiastical organization that brings together and coordinates the social welfare activities of the Waldensian Church in Italy.
The Waldensian Diaconia serves everyone without discrimination based on gender, background, culture, or religious belief, and conducts its activities guided by principles of transparency, quality, and effectiveness, without any denominational bias.
Case Valdesi operate according to the same principles, allocating 100% of their annual proceeds to support the Diaconia’s initiatives. Through your stay, you make a tangible contribution to projects serving asylum seekers, migrants, the elderly, single mothers with children, people with disabilities, young people, and minors.
