Social Action

The Foundation committed to social action

In the area of social action, the Foundation develops and participates in various types of projects, including those related to the integration into society of people with disabilities, children with serious illnesses, the development of social, educational and healthcare conditions among people at risk, raising environmental awareness and social entrepreneurship.

To fulfil this commitment and social work, we collaborate with trusted entities, promoting joint projects to provide a dignified life to groups at risk of poverty and social exclusion. To fulfil this commitment and social work, we collaborate with trusted entities, promoting joint projects to provide a dignified life to groups at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The educational project with Save the Children aimed at the most vulnerable children, the programme to support children at risk with the Fundación Balia, and the projects to support children's education with Manos Unidas are some clear examples.

In keeping with these social action programmes, with Save the Med we work on the Changemakers project to contribute to the development of a network for the conservation of protected marine areas, as well as to help the ecosystem regain its balance and well-being.

In addition to all these social work activities and programmes, our vision extends to a long-term future, as we seek to provide help and solutions to common problems for those groups in situations of poverty or exclusion, and those that require social support and intervention.
