The Almenara Foundation was created in 1999 to participate in the construction of a fairer world. We believe that education is a fundamental tool to access opportunities for individual development and to achieve change towards more equitable and balanced social structures. We understand education in a broad and global way, and we support educational initiatives that offer new development options to their recipients. In all our projects we work with local organizations, which we accompany from the design of the projects to their execution, respecting and promoting their knowledge and autonomy.
Hereunder there’s a compilation of some of the projects developed by Almenara.
