FMSI launches new website, Twitter and Instagram accounts

The Marist non-profit organization FMSI launched a new website on Sept. 22 with the aim of better communicating its activities.

“The overall purpose of the new site is to renew FMSI’s image outwardly and make it more accessible to those who browse the site’s information,” FMSI director Marzia Ventimiglia affirmed.

“We want to make the website a powerful and impactful communication tool regarding all the activities we carry out,” she added in an interview with the general house press office on Sept. 19.

Aside from its Facebook page, FMSI also has now accounts in Instagram and Twitter under the name fmsi_onlus.

The website started off in Italian and English, and will soon be available also in Spanish and Portuguese.

For technical reasons, the website’s URL changed from www.fmsi-onlus.org to www.fmsi.ong.

Its sections include general information on the organisation as well as on children’s rights, projects, news, and how to donate.
