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 también ha colaborado con los damnificados de la DANA en Valencia enviando, en los primeros días tras la catástrofe, 50.000 mascarillas FFP2 junto a la Fundación SEPLA - Ayuda. También ha donado mobiliario y enseres para ayudar a la reconstrucción de las sedes de entidades sociales que atienden a personas con discapacidad intelectual y escuelas infantiles en las zonas más afectadas por la riada, con el objetivo de que puedan recuperar su actividad lo antes posible.
Voluntarios por Ucrania, una ONG que surgió al inicio de la invasión rusa para dar asistencia a los refugiados desplazados en España, es otra de las organizaciones que reciben apoyo por parte de Envera. Su presidenta y cofundadora, Yolanda Mínguez, explicaba en mayo que entre las personas a las que ayudan "hay mujeres mayores de 70 años, algunas solas aquí y que apenas hablan nuestro idioma". Una de ellas acaba de mandarle un mensaje "en su español de Google Traductor" para agradecer el perfume que le han entregado. "No imaginas sus caras de felicidad".
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.
Por otro lado, Envera también mantiene un acuerdo con MAPOMA para dar una segunda vida a material, ropa y calzado deportivo, en muchos casos excedente de los maratones celebrados en Madrid. Una ayuda que ha llegado hasta asociaciones como la Escuela de Fútbol 'Vicente del Bosque' de Dakar, un proyecto que ya ha sacado de la calle a casi un centenar de niños, favoreciendo su escolarización, y para los que el fútbol se ha convertido en un medio de inclusión y de ocio saludable pero, sobre todo, para tener un futuro mejor.
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:
