The Sacyr Foundation has signed a collaboration agreement with the Federation of Gypsy Associations of Catalonia (FAGIC) to help disadvantaged families.
The Foundation will collaborate in two projects that will directly and indirectly benefit 4,350 people.
The first, Kerav Butji ("I work" in Romani), aims to promote the insertion of the gypsy population, especially young people, in the labor market. It will promote both access to paid employment and self-employment. In addition, a specialized accompaniment will be provided, strengthening competencies, with its own labor resources and with existing resources in the territory.
The second project, Sigarnipé ("The urgency"), will promote comprehensive, cross-cutting and community-based actions to guarantee the coverage of basic food and hygiene needs as well as basic necessities.
This project aims to prevent situations of chronification, loss of autonomy and deterioration of social ties through individualized social accompaniment, aimed at improving the quality of life.
The beneficiaries are people and/or families in vulnerable situations, mainly from the gypsy community, without excluding other groups that present difficulties of access to basic necessities throughout the territory of Catalonia.
