The Valerio Daniel De Simoni Association honours the life of Valerio Daniel De Simoni, who died tragically while carrying out a fundraising voyage through Africa.

We are a community grassroots association based in Sydney, Australia. Our mission is to foster solidarity and compassion with refugees and asylum seekers and indigenous youth, promote sustainable and secure food practices, and empower young people to realise their artistic, intellectual and athletic potential.

We are a registered charity accredited by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, independent of any religious or political party. All our staff are volunteers and all our programs are carried out by association members.
