Cameroon was, without a doubt, the trip of the records. Among all the collaborators of the initiative, we managed to raise more than € 10,000 and 700 kilos of material, which were used to build a library in the School of Nursing that the NGO Insol Africa has in the town of Kribi. The aid in Madagascar was used to sponsor the construction of the second shelter for the main facilities of the Yamuna organization in Tsinjo.

The club collected a total of € 18,000 from all contributions, earmarked for the “50 smiles” project of the Homes de Demain foundation, with the aim of helping to improve the mobility of 50 children suffering from mental and physical disabilities, by purchasing prosthetics, wheelchairs and functional mobility devices.
Gambia
This 2020 Español S.A.

NSF is an NGO that works to guarantee food as a universal right with the aim of eradicating malnutrition through action and ethical commitment to disadvantaged people.
The objective of this project was to raise funds to cover the cost of maternal malnutrition treatments carried out at the NSF Nutrition Education and Recovery Centers (CREN) in the city of Soma. Linked to the trip, the club’s fourth solidarity story was also published, “Adama”, written by the Catalan journalist Carla Galisteo, with illustrations by Alicia Giménez, and with a foreword written by the journalist specialized in Africa, Xavier Aldekoa. The story shows the daily life of Adama, one of the CREN workers from NSF to Soma, and helps to raise awareness about the role of women in Gambian society.
