Il Cuore Altrove Foundation is the manifestation of hope in a cynical world. Protecting, nuturing and inspiring the world's most vulnerable children.
Our initiatives are focused on 3 main areas, Children, Environment and Research/Education.
We believe that those 3 pillars are the building blocks for a better future, a future worth living into.
“Il Cuore Altrove Foundation” in an italian word and it translates as The Heart Elsewhere Foundation.
Our ideal is to work with companies that can relate to our message and can catalyze the most powerful and efficient way to spread the word.

Alba Pau
Alba is an entrepreneur who owns a well-known restaurant where she works with both tourism and the people of this wonderful island of Ibiza.
After many years she have been able to see that here there are not only discos, beaches, luxury, entertainment, etc. There is a parallel world with people with many special needs (disabilities, degenerative diseases, cancer, child abuse, etc.) who are not as lucky as we are to enjoy a normal life. For this reason, more than 10 years ago she wanted to take advantage of his social status to help, becoming a volunteer for the Association of the disabled of the Magna Pityusa, Plataforma socio-sanitary de las Pitiusas, Fundación Conciencia, Fundación Cas Caleru, APNEEF, APFEM, APAAC, Asociación Juntos and Fundación Pacha.
“This year the Ibiza Council awarded me the Ibiza City Merit Award, a great surprise, because my help has always been selfless.”
