CAV Trieste

CAV Trieste, the Centro di Aiuto alla Vita “Marisa,” is a community organization that has supported women facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies since 1978. Based in Trieste, it offers listening, personal guidance and practical assistance to women who are uncertain about continuing a pregnancy or feel isolated, anxious or unsupported. Its volunteers help mothers explore available options, identify solutions and connect with appropriate social services. Support may also include psychological assistance and practical or financial help for mothers and their children, including the provision of diapers.

The organization’s services extend from pregnancy into the period after childbirth, with a focus on accompanying women and families through challenging moments. CAV Trieste also promotes education and community engagement through events, informational meetings, prenatal education and parenting courses for mothers and fathers. Its website shares news, activities and ways to get involved, including volunteering and financial contributions. Supporters can donate through the organization or allocate their five-per-thousand tax contribution to the Centro di Aiuto alla Vita “Marisa.”.
