Sermig – an acronym for the Young People’s Missionary Service – was established to make a dream come true: to eliminate hunger through justice and development. The underlying principle is to consider the world as our home and all men as members of a single human family.
The method is experiencing solidarity directly with the poor, providing down-to-earth answers.

Giving some of our assets, our ability, our time and our resources is the way to finance development projects and peace-oriented actions.

To manage these projects Sermig set up the International Cooperative for Development (C.I.S.) to support or to create communities with a solid spiritual base that coordinate projects on site, getting the local population involved.
A group of experts from different technological areas (the Re.Te group – which supplies technological expertise) identifies and creates appropriate solutions to support the projects. In 38 years, we have completed more than 1,500 humanitarian actions and development projects in 82 countries around the world and more than 100 peace actions in nations at war.
