You are also in every mission!
Support and Sustain Children (SSCh) is an independent NGO that provides concrete aid to children and families who are victims of war or extreme poverty. It operates in crisis areas, offering humanitarian support and development projects in Turkey, Syria, Gaza and Madagascar.
It is the natural evolution of a humanitarian commitment born from the will of Arianna Martini, founder and president of the association.
Every month or month and a half, Arianna personally visits the field with her team to closely monitor each project, document its impact, and ensure that aid reaches those who need it most.
Thanks to the support of many donors who have placed their trust in SSCh, the seeds of hope and redemption have been planted. The smiles of the children are the greatest and most priceless reward that Arianna and her team bring home from each mission. It is an incentive to do more and better, to show courage and determination in pointing the way to a future for those who have given up hope.
Heartfelt thanks from the entire SSCh Team
Our projects
and our missions
We are active in contexts of prolonged crisis and extreme vulnerability, where emergencies are not temporary events but structural conditions. The association’s projects are based on direct observation of needs, continuous field presence, and relationships built over time with local communities.
“Everything we do is possible thanks to your help and your generosity, without which we couldn’t even dream of carrying out the projects intended to provide relief to the least of the least”.
Since the beginning, Support and Sustain Children has chosen to take action where it is possible to generate a real, concrete, and verifiable impact, combining immediate response to vital needs with pathways to autonomy, dignity, and resilience. Active projects are developed in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa and are united by a method based on proximity, responsibility, transparency, and sustainability.
