We are a global movement of . The Human Safety Net is a global movement of people helping people.

Our mission is to unlock the potential of people living in vulnerable circumstances, so that they can transform the lives of their families and communities. Our programs support vulnerable families with young children (0-6 years) and integrate refugees through work and entrepreneurship. To do so, we bring together the strengths of non-profit organizations and the private sector, in Europe, Asia and South America. We are an open net and we welcome working with companies, organizations and foundations who share the same goals. The Human Safety Net is now active in over 20 countries. Our home is in Venice, in the historic Procuratie Vecchie on St Mark’s Square.

How can migrant entrepreneurs turn their experience into sustainable businesses?

🇨🇱 In Chile, The Human Safety Net is launching two new initiatives with Scalabrini and Acción Emprendedora to support migrant entrepreneurs, especially women, in building greater economic independence.

Emprende con Futuro helps early-stage entrepreneurs strengthen their personal brand, develop a clear business model and improve their financial management through in-person training.

Bases Seguras, Futuro Sostenible supports entrepreneurs with established businesses through hybrid training, KPI tools, cash flow planning and strategic financial guidance.

Both programmes address key barriers, including limited access to formal business networks and financial tools adapted to the local context. Participants leave with practical resources and a 12-month Strategic Action Plan to support long-term growth and stability.

🗣️ For Nicole*, Family Mentoring became a turning point.
A single mother of two young children with additional needs, she had been managing therapy, work and daily life without family support. Through the younus Family Mentoring programme, she was matched with Michaela, a parent mentor who supported the whole family for a year.

👉 Michaela offered practical guidance, emotional support and activities to strengthen the children’s language and motor skills. She also helped Nicole communicate her son Leonardo’s needs to his kindergarten and advocate for better support.
Leonardo was later matched with his own mentor, Bettina. Through play, stories and encouragement, he has become more confident, communicative and able to set boundaries.

Today, both children are making progress, while Nicole feels more supported and less alone. Her story shows how one trusted relationship can strengthen an entire family.

*All names have been changed.

A child’s sense of safety is about more than having a roof over their head. It also comes from feeling seen, supported and emotionally secure.

🇭🇺 Since early 2026, The Human Safety Net Hungary and the Hungarian Red Cross Budapest have been supporting vulnerable families with children aged 0–6 in Budapest’s 8th and 9th districts.

The programme combines supportive parenting sessions, play-based activities and cultural experiences designed to strengthen family bonds, rebuild parental confidence and foster a stronger sense of belonging 🫂
By bringing together the Red Cross’s local expertise and The Human Safety Net’s focus on early childhood development, the partnership aims to give children a stronger foundation and help families face the future with greater confidence.

How can partnerships between civil society organisations and local governments create lasting change in early childhood development? 🤱

During Global Parenting Month, The Human Safety Net hosted a webinar with experts from Bulgaria, Argentina and Romania to explore how collaboration can build stronger support systems for children and families.

📊 With only 43% of children under five having access to quality early childhood development services, fragmented services, short-term funding, unequal access and the challenge of scaling without losing quality remain major barriers.
Each country offers a different path to lasting impact. Bulgaria integrates health, education and social services, Argentina builds solutions around community needs and Romania uses evidence to scale local pilots through public policy.

The message was clear: lasting and equitable impact requires strong partnerships, community involvement and solutions embedded in public systems.

🗣️ How can we move beyond polarization and build a more constructive conversation on migration?

This was the focus of The Missing Conversation: Finding Common Ground on Migration, a roundtable hosted by The Home of The Human Safety Net, the Institute of International Affairs and Second Tree as part of Refugee Week Italy.

The discussion brought together voices from academia, public institutions, humanitarian organisations and the private sector, reaching one shared conclusion: Italy needs regular, safe and well-managed migration pathways.
Employment, stronger public-private collaboration and a more inclusive narrative can support integration and move the conversation beyond crisis and polarization.
