A world more just is possible, but it depends also on you!
Who we are
The Association P.Carlo Colelli is the new name of the Caritas Carmelitana created in 1983.
After 20 years of experience with helping people from developing countries and in collaboration with the missionaries from the Carmelitan Family spread throughout the continents, it was evidente to us that there existed a need for the Caritas Carmelitana to conform to the present times, and to relaunch with a qualitative renewal by means of the establishment of the O.N.L.U.S. an association dedicated to the memory of their inspirator and founder.
The Association conserves all the freshness and experience from the past: a fundamental structure essentially based purely on voluntary service, direct contact with operators, each project carefully monitored, strong bond between the donor and the receiver, promotion of good conscience and of peace, timely preference for small projects, and concrete and valuable results.
For the future AXP will maintains all the experience obtained from the past, adjusting itself with the collaboration of considerable laymen to global peace, to the plausible development just and solid and to the safeguard in which it creates.
Turning ourselves to whomever shares the commitment for the respectful union between culture and religious and for a world more just and solis. In collaboration with other similar associations dedicated always to the guarentee that all that one donates arrives securly to the destination, directly to those in need.

Some information about the founder
Father Carlo Colelli was born in Rome in the area called Borgo near St.Peters. From the time he was a child he knew the complication that exist in the time of war, he studied and became a efficient engineer for a company in which time was called National telephone service. However right in the middle of a promminate career, at 33 years old, he left everything in order to begin the aprentership for the Carmelitani.
He was ordained into Preistood in 1973 and dedicated his competence to the absolute formation of the young universitaries, in particular the diocese of Albano Laziale.
He founded therefore the Caritas carmelitana with the purpose to support the more neglected missionaries that were operating with great discomfort for too long.
The so called “mini-proggects” became a concrete proposal for whoever wanted to help the others, in the countries of Latin america, Africa, and Eastern Europe.
He had the consciousness of a charitable Christian without strict frontiers to succour, but also and above all to promote the autonomy and the dignity of the poor.
He didn’t constitute a structure that would take away the collected money from the donators, on the contrary he worked simply with the help of his university students and the voluntary service of professor Cristiana Cassina who has continued the final work today. Just like he had foreseen he died prematurly on December 10, 1991. To those who knocked for help he always responded: “If one can do, one can do”
