The Asociación Doctor Jaime Campos-Castelló and Envera - Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad have agreed to collaborate in the promotion of projects of social responsibility, integration and improvement of the personal autonomy of people with intellectual disabilities, beneficiaries of Envera.
This was signed by the presidents of both non-profit organizations, Yago Campos and José Antonio Quintero, respectively, at a ceremony held at Envera's headquarters in Madrid.
The main objective of this collaboration is to carry out "actions related to human, civic, cultural and social development of people with intellectual disabilities, with special emphasis on actions aimed at a full integration into family life, social and labor", as stated in the agreement.
In this way, the Doctor Jaime Campos-Castelló Association will support, through donations, Envera's independent living project in supervised apartments for people with intellectual disabilities. The first of them will be located in the Madrid municipality of Alcobendas and will benefit four people assisted by Envera.
For Envera, "this important collaboration contributes to improving the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities by promoting their involvement in social life as full citizens. And it is an honor for us that the mission Envera has been pursuing for 43 years so that people with intellectual disabilities can take their place in the world with dignity, also contributes to the memory of Dr. Campos Castelló," said Quintero.
For Yago Campos, "the magnificent work that Envera has been developing for more than 40 years makes it a reference entity. It is a pleasure to support them in their new challenge, especially exciting for us: their first supervised apartment where people with intellectual or developmental disabilities can acquire the necessary skills to achieve, each to the extent of their possibilities, an independent life".
