In 2024, Envera - Iberia's social work - donated more than 45 tons of material, food and humanitarian aid to 21 other social entities that carry out projects in Spain and abroad. In total, this aid reached more than 7,630 vulnerable people.
The recipients of the donations are NGOs with which Envera has collaboration agreements and which provide direct support to families at risk of exclusion in countries such as Ethiopia, Senegal, Mozambique, Peru or Cuba; refugees from Ukraine or Syria in Spain; and entities working in our country such as Mensajeros de la Paz, Cáritas or Fundación Gomaespuma.
Envera has also collaborated with the victims of the DANA in Valencia by sending, in the first days after the catastrophe, 50,000 FFP2 masks together with the SEPLA - Ayuda Foundation. It has also donated furniture and household goods to help in the reconstruction of the headquarters of social entities that serve people with intellectual disabilities and children's schools in the areas most affected by the flood, so that they can recover their activity as soon as possible.
Volunteers for Ukraine, an NGO that emerged at the beginning of the Russian invasion to provide assistance to displaced refugees in Spain, is another of the organizations supported by Envera. Its president and co-founder, Yolanda Mínguez, explained in May that among the people they help "there are women over 70 years old, some of them alone here and who barely speak our language". One of them has just sent her a message "in her Google Translator Spanish" to thank her for the perfume she has been given. "You can't imagine their happy faces."
In this wave of solidarity, in which people with disabilities have become the protagonists of this aid network, Envera has allies who trust in its work so that donations really reach those who need them most.
This is the case of Grupo Dia which, in collaboration with Envera, has donated more than four tons of personal hygiene, toiletries and drugstore products to people at risk of social exclusion and vulnerable families.
Iberia is also part of this network of solidarity through the volunteer project Committed Wings which Envera has set up with the support of the company's crews who help to deliver material to other countries.
On the other hand, Envera also has an agreement with MAPOMA to give a second life to sports equipment, clothing and footwear, in many cases surplus from the marathons held in Madrid. This aid has reached associations such as the 'Vicente del Bosque' Soccer School in Dakar, a project that has already taken almost a hundred children off the streets, helping them to attend school, and for whom soccer has become a means of inclusion and healthy leisure, but above all, to have a better future.
98.5 % of these donations are managed from the Envera's Solidarity Recycling Centerwhich has teams of professionals with disabilities in Madrid and Barcelona.
Others have been carried out directly by the delegations in the Canary Islands and have consisted of the delivery to the Tenerife Red Cross and the Las Palmas Food Bank of fresh and organic products collected by the students of Envera's own agricultural training programs.
Today, February 27, is World NGO Day, and Envera, an organization whose ultimate goal is to care for people with disabilities, wants to reaffirm its commitment to 11 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and collaborate with more than 20 NGOs so that no one is truly left behind:
