over a million children
from Angola, Chad and Cuba

who need
medical treatment
far from home.

more than 300 children
with serious diseases
to make their dreams come true
together with NGO Make-A-Wish-Spain.

and children's health and integration projects

WE COLLABORATE TO ACHIEVE
SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION
OF PEOPLE AT RISK OF EXCLUSION
For more than 40 years we have been working with Envera, an organisation created by Iberia employees with children with special needs. Its mission is the protection and social and professional inclusion of people with physical, intellectual and sensory disabilities.
Envera centres carry out different kinds of jobs for Iberia, such as document management, washing aircraft linen and managing the inventory of aircraft part storage areas, amongst other things.
WE SUPPORT
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
AT OUR DESTINATIONS
Aula Iberia: Schooling project in Guatemala
In March 2017, Iberia and NGO Mano a Mano officially opened the "Aula Iberia" at the Maya Kaqchikel Beleje Noj Educational Centre in Guatemala. This schooling project, focusing on promoting employability in the Los Tunayes community in San Martín Jilotepeque, is the only secondary school in this rural region.
Since the project was launched, 40 young people have received training every year at this educational centre, promoted by the rural community development association ADECOR and with the financial support of NGO Mano a Mano created within Iberia.
Development project in Morocco
We support the development project in Douar Afernou el Fouki, a rural area of Morocco in the province of Larache, which is being carried out by NGO Mano a Mano in collaboration with AMED (Mediterranean Association for the Development and Protection of the Environment).
We donated the funds raised at the charity auction of Iberia's "Meninas", which were part of the Meninas Madrid Gallery exhibitions in 2018 and 2019. This helped to fund the renovation of two fountains and to build a reservoir and water channelling to the houses of the people living in the region, as well as the construction of community ovens that allow ecological baking, which are now used by the 255 people that make up this community.
