4. Fondazione ODA Firenze Onlus
The Opera Diocesana
Assistenza (O.D.A.) of
Florence was founded in
1953 as expression of the
Church of Florence to
organize and manage
specialized services for
people with ID.
Since that time, hundreds of
people with ID have
benefited from being able
to work and socialize in an
environment which provides
them with the opportunity
to develop their individual
skills and achieve their full
potential.
