Envera - Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad, and CEAR, Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado, have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly carry out, participate in and promote social responsibility actions in order to assist a greater number of refugees and people with disabilities who are in vulnerable situations.
The general director of CEAR, Estrella Galán, and the president of Envera, José Antonio Quintero, have signed this agreement as a starting point for collaborative actions between the two social entities that will aim to ensure that no person is left behind in these times of health, social and economic crisis.
In this way, Envera offers CEAR its experience of more than 43 years in the care of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, especially in the care of refugee children and their families, which should be a priority to achieve their integration.
For its part, CEAR supports Envera's social mission for the social and labor inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.
With this project Envera maintains its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN in the 2030 Agenda through partnerships that allow progress towards equal opportunities and social justice.
