Our code of ethics and values leads us to commit ourselves to being a small oasis in the fight for equal opportunities.
Chance led us in 2013 to cross paths with Rafael Selas, founder of ANIDAN Kenya (a shelter for children in borderline situations in Lamu, an archipelago in northern Kenya). He, together with his parents (Antonio Selas and Margarita Colorado, through ANIDAN Spain) have been developing a magnificent project for 20 years now, which you can learn more about by visiting their website: www.anidan.org. Basically, they take care of the reception and training of minor children, orphans, abandoned children, children from dysfunctional families… in extreme social situations; as well as organising a free children’s hospital, which is a reference point for care in the whole area of influence.
Since we became aware of your project (including a visit to the centre in situ), we decided to support and disseminate your work, as we consider it essential to provide training for young people, and to provide them with a tool that will be essential to get ahead, prosper and achieve a degree of self-sufficiency that guarantees them acceptable living conditions and environment. And that tool must be TRAINING.
All this led us to sign an Agreement between ANIDAN and the Cabinet (FBA) as a Collaborating Company, so that, in addition to the various actions that we are carrying out (and that we spread among collaborators and friends), since the 2014 academic year we maintain our support and financial contribution to the education programme to pay for the studies of part of its Training programme (which covers 52 students in Secondary School, and 16 students in Higher Education), with very satisfactory results.
Financial support is particularly necessary in these recent times in which, in addition to the difficulties added by the pandemic since 2019, new needs have arisen for other disadvantaged sectors (war in Ukraine with all that it entails, energy impoverishment of various disadvantaged groups, etc.), and sometimes the aid is not always available. ), and sometimes the aid is diverted to new projects, also necessary, of course, but which leave without funds others already underway and long-term, losing much of the progress made, and that is why we reiterate our support (and ask for yours) for the great family of ANIDAN.
Although it is not the most relevant thing, we take this opportunity to remind you that any donation to this Association is tax deductible under Spanish law, in particular, Law 49/2002 of 23 December, on the tax regime for non-profit organisations and tax incentives for patronage.
Thank you on behalf of ANIDAN, and on behalf of FBAsociados, of course, for the support and collaboration provided to improve (even if only minimally) the living conditions of the most disadvantaged.
