WHO WE ARE
Our journey between Lugano and Addis Abeba began in 2007 with the first charity project of the Braglia family regarding a school in Ethiopia. After four years of active involvement Riccardo and Giuseppina Braglia decided to take a big step forward: to carry out a more ambitious project.
The Charity Foundation New Flower in
Africa was thus established in Lugano in 2011.

TESTIMONIAL
PAULINA
I could have never anticipated how much more meaningful it would be to return for a second time. The bonds that had formed between the children and I were strengthened, my emotions were heightened, and my passion for serving the community was intensified.
MICHELA
Africa’s nostalgia
The hardest thing was to realize that I would not see all the kids every day, I would not hear them singing in the morning and I would not receive the thousand hugs and kisses every day.
CHIARA & SILVIA
Before leaving, we were warned that this experience would have been a great personal enrichment more than a concrete help for the local community: this has been definitely true!
BENEDETTO
Everyday I felt blessed, because I was fortunate enough to live in a healthy country while the people in Ethiopia were struggling to survive, they had little food and water, their houses had capabilities of hosting two people while their whole family was made up of five members, and the streets were impossible to walk on; this made me appreciate everything given to me a lot more.
HENRY
I am proud and lucky to have met, played with and taught these children, who I consider to be the bravest children throughout Ehtiopia.
GIADA

Approaching children from the other side of the world may seem difficult from the point of view of instructing and communicating; however, I am not afraid of sounding banal when I say that since the first day, we were greeted like we are family.

Confronting what is outside the school, watching these kids run and play, an almost automatic instinct pushes you to do more for them. You inevitably desire that they may live a better future, as they should not be unwitting victims, but simply children.
