We conduct our business with respect for the environment and its conservation, as well as actively contributing to social causes, because we want to contribute to the development and progress of the societies in which we operate.
That is why, we support organisations that work to improve child health, provide assistance to vulnerable children and facilitate the inclusion of groups at risk of social exclusion. Part of the work undertaken by these organisations involves air travel, so your Avios can make a crucial difference by enabling them to take their mission much further.

Mano a Mano
Mano a Mano is an NGO that was founded in 1995 as an initiative by Iberia employees who wanted to send humanitarian aid to countries in need to which the company operated flights, and they wanted to do it without any intermediaries - hence the name, "hand to hand".
Nearly 25 years later, the NGO continues to pursue its mission thanks to support from Iberia and the commitment of current and former employees who volunteer with Mano a Mano. It undertakes projects in soup kitchens, schools and hospitals in Spain and countries like Guatemala, Cuba, Ecuador, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Peru and Venezuela.

Save the Children
In 1919, one hundred years ago, Save the Children was founded with the goal of creating a world in which children can survive, have the chance to learn and are protected from violence. The organisation has reached many milestones since then, but it continues to work today to ensure the survival, education and protection of every last child. Each year it brings about lasting changes in the lives of millions of children, including those who are the hardest to reach.
Iberia supports Save the Children's "Schools as Zones of Peace" project, which teaches life tools to secondary school children in Guatemala City.
