All projects

At United Way, no two projects are the same. We have developed hundreds of them in Spain, Italy and Portugal since 2016. Here you can see some examples of how we can help you multiply your impact.

Empowering women

We promote the employability and personal empowerment of women in vulnerable or unemployed situations, so they can identify their capabilities, gain confidence and improve their opportunities for access to employment and professional development. We understand employability as a broad process, combining guidance, tools, practice and support to move forward with greater security and autonomy.

REQUIP!

REQUIP is a digital inclusion program driven by United Way España together with Asociación Cultural Kalle, aimed at women in vulnerable situations in Madrid. Through practical workshops, volunteer support and the delivery of refurbished computers, the project seeks to reduce the digital divide and facilitate access to employment, training and personal autonomy opportunities.

Educational challenge

A program of guidance and activation of young talent that, through practical experiences and corporate volunteering, connects young people with the professional world, strengthening their skills, role models and future opportunities.

Top Scientists

Top Scientists is a national competition promoted by Fundación 3M, aimed at students in the 3rd and 4th years of ESO, 1st year of Bachillerato and basic vocational training programs in Spain. Its goal is to foster interest in science and applied innovation among young people, promoting solutions that improve people’s lives and their environment.

Educational support

Volunteer support in after-school activities, helping children who attend YMCA Getafe’s centers prepare for exams but also, within the healthy leisure activity, helping the youngest ones learn and have fun while playing.

Technological Innovation

Through active methodologies and project-based learning, students develop digital skills, creativity, critical thinking and the ability to solve real problems through technology, in motivating contexts close to their own experience.

Healthy eating

We support people in vulnerable situations in building healthy habits and making decisions about their wellbeing.

Companionship for Older People

A companionship project for older people, organizing educational and leisure activities with the support of volunteers.

Sport and leisure with people with disabilities

Days of social inclusion through inclusive leisure, structured around participatory experiences that combine sports and creative activities, promoting interaction among older people, people with disabilities, migrants and corporate volunteers.

Memory in action

A project developed together with AFA Alcobendas to support people with Alzheimer’s and early-onset Alzheimer’s, as well as their families, raising awareness of the therapies, activities and resources that promote their wellbeing and quality of life.
