Lorenzo (19) lives with his parents in Scampia, a suburb north of Naples and one of the most problematic areas in southern Italy in terms of unemployment, school dropout rate, criminality, etc.
Together with some of his classmates, Lorenzo participated in Project Meet No Neet and the social project competition, which he won with Clean Up and Innovate. Moreover, the team has now launched a crowdfunding campaign on Phyrtual.org with the slogan: My Future? #itsuptome.
