On 13 December 2025, the Esharelife Foundation was honoured to take part in the XXXIII Edition of the Christmas Concert, held at the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome. This iconic Vatican event, organised by Missioni Don Bosco and Prime Time Promotions, brought together some of the world’s most renowned artists to celebrate the message of Christmas: peace, compassion, and unity among all peoples.
Earlier in the day, Prof. Dr Maurizio Bragagni Esq OBE, Chairman of the Esharelife Foundation, and Miss Giulia Maria Bragagni, Trustee, had the profound honour of being received in private audience by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. During the meeting, they expressed Esharelife’s unwavering commitment to humanitarian and educational projects that reflect the Christian principles of love, service, and human dignity. His Holiness encouraged the Foundation’s continued work in supporting disadvantaged communities, particularly through education, a mission that perfectly embodies the true spirit of caritas.
The evening continued with the Vatican Christmas Concert, featuring extraordinary performances by Riccardo Cocciante, Sheryl Crow, Gigi D’Alessio, Orietta Berti, Noa, and many others, all united in sharing a message of hope through the universal language of music. The event concluded with a Closing Dinner at the Complesso Monumentale Santo Spirito in Sassia, attended by guests and dignitaries from around the world, a true moment of fellowship and reflection on the values that unite faith and humanity.
By participating in this Concert, Esharelife proudly supported this year’s initiative in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo, a town that stands at the heart of Central Africa’s economic development yet faces stark social inequalities. In the Côte-Mateve neighbourhood, where access to clean water, electricity, healthcare, and education remains severely limited, the Salesian missionaries are committed to building a new primary school for 350 children aged 6 to 12 from vulnerable backgrounds. This project will provide safe and dignified learning environments, including ten fully equipped classrooms, administrative offices, teachers’ rooms, coordination spaces, and functional sanitation facilities.
By supporting this initiative, Esharelife helps transform inequality into opportunity, offering children the chance for quality education and a brighter future.
Esharelife’s participation in such a significant occasion underscores its mission to promote education as a pathway to dignity and opportunity. As Chairman Bragagni remarked, “To share life is to recognise the divine spark in every human being, to educate, to support, and to give hope.”
This Christmas, Esharelife renews its call to action: Whoever you are, you can make a difference!
