The Foundation

The Mago Sales Foundation is a non-profit organization of social utility (ONLUS), founded in 2001 with the aim of bringing solidarity and hope to the poorest children in the world.
 Since 2004, it has been recognized as a Legal Person and registered in the Register of the Prefecture of Turin.

Inspired by Don Bosco's pedagogy, the Foundation promotes projects of distance support in over 25 countries, with a simple but powerful mission: to defend children's right to smile.

The President and founder is Don Silvio Mantelli, better known as Mago Sales, who, together with his collaborators, brings shows and animations to Salesian missions around the world, giving moments of joy, hope, and wonder.

In Italy, the Foundation is active in the field of development education, peace promotion, and theatrical training, through workshops, shows, publications, and meetings designed for children, teenagers, and educators.
