Colonna Charity Foundation
Colonna Charity Foundation was established in 2018 by property firm Colonna. Charity campaigns that have been running since 2013 have so far raised almost 500 000 euros and have aided Estonian maternity hospitals with procuring all-important medical equipment for treating newborn and premature babies. Since 2023 in cooperation with Peaasi.ee (local NGO Head Matters) we have set our main focus on children’s mental health problems, including mental first aid skills training for children and parents. Preventing children’s mental health problems is something we have put all our efforts into.
With the help of our campaigns we have have underpinned the purchase of several critically needed medical devices: a time-lapse incubator needed to increase the effectiveness of infertility treatment, a resuscitation table, an incubator, a neonatal brain monitor, and instruments for measuring the oxygenation of the brain. We have also been able to renovate two family wards at the Pelgulinna Maternity Hospital for better comfort for mothers and babies. The doctors of Pelgulinna Maternity Hospital and the Maternity Hospital of East-Tallinn Central Hospital have managed to help hundreds of children with Colonna’s support.
The founder of both Colonna and the Colonna Charity Fund Roberto de Silvestri said that the further object of the charity fund is to reach out to a broader audience in the society: in addition to helping newborns and premature babies, the Fund wants to start various charity projects that support the wellbeing, health rehabilitation, education and sporting activities of Estonian children.
“Doctors have been able to help hundreds of children with Colonna’s support over the years. However, this is just the beginning for Colonna – charity is our mission which will certainly continue.”
