One of the tasks of the Humanistic Vicar or the Humanistic Civic Council is to create a humanistic welfare community.
In a humanistic Medici village, welcoming and supporting mothers in need is an initiative that reflects the humanistic and solidarity values typical of the Medici legacy, offering support and care to new mothers without adequate family support. This community aims to create welcoming, safe and respectful family homes, where mothers in childbirth can receive assistance, affection and guidance during the crucial postpartum period.
