Over \u20ac9.6 million have been invested in 177 projects, 394 individual grants and 14 projects in 13 countries supported by the Economy of Communion. The Focolare Movement’s 2024 Assessment of Communion in Action describes projects of solidarity which aim to make a better world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rome, 6 November 2025<\/strong> \u2013 The Focolare Movement today presented its 2024 Bilancio di Comunione (Sharing of Goods Report) at the Pontifical Patristic Institute Augustinianum<\/em> in Rome, under the title \u201cL\u2019avete fatto a me\u201d (\u201cYou did it to me\u201d). Inspired by the Gospel message of Matthew 25:40, the report offers a living testimony to concrete acts of fraternity carried out across the world \u2014 initiatives that arise from the Movement\u2019s charism of unity and respond to the pressing needs of our time, in strong partnership with civil society, faith communities, and international organisations.<\/p>\n

In her opening remarks, Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement, highlighted the profound link between faith, social engagement, and hope: \u201cBeyond numbers and projects, what this report reveals is a global family committed to seeing Christ in every person, especially in those who are most vulnerable, and to building paths of justice, peace, and human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event featured contributions from Sr. Alessandra Smerilli, Secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and Moira Monacelli of Caritas Internationalis. Representatives from five initiatives rooted in the Focolare\u2019s spirituality shared their transformative experiences:<\/p>\n

Fo.Co. ONLUS (Sicily, Italy), supporting migrants and unaccompanied minors<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

UNIRedes, a network of 74 social organisations<\/strong> in Latin America and the Caribbean;<\/p>\n

Focolare Carpentry Training Centre (Philippines), providing vocational training and job opportunities<\/strong> for disadvantaged youth;<\/p>\n

TogetherWeConnect (Israel and Palestine), offering training in dialogue and peace-building<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

Centro Medico di Man (Ivory Coast), delivering healthcare<\/strong> in a fragile post-conflict region.<\/p>\n

These stories of change are drawn from the wider Annual Report which this year documents over 200 initiatives in fields ranging from education to ecological transition, migration support to prisoner accompaniment, youth empowerment to social business. Each project is rooted in the spirituality of unity, with a strong emphasis on shared responsibility, co-creation, and sustainable impact.<\/p>\n

The report aligns closely with global frameworks including the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals, Pope Francis\u2019 encyclicals Laudato Si\u2019<\/em> and Fratelli Tutti<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The “You did it to me” report offers a compelling witness: that real change is possible when communion becomes a lived reality \u2014 a shared good that multiplies hope.<\/p>\n
