Home for dependent people ASPRONAGA
During 2016, the Amancio Ortega Foundation signed a collaboration agreement with ASPRONAGA (Galicia Association for People with Intellectual Disabilities), a leading entity that cares for people with intellectual disabilities in A Coruña, to build a home for people who need a lot of support.
With an area of 620 square metres, this home is located in the town of Oleiros where most of ASPRONAGA’s services are already located. It has 15 rooms equipped with a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen with a storage area, a laundry room and two care and treatment rooms, among other rooms, all designed and equipped depending on the mobility and care needs of the users it has been designed for.
The Galicia Association for People with Intellectual Disabilities (ASPRONAGA, for its abbreviation in Spanish) has provided services to its beneficiaries since 1962 thanks to the work of a team made up of 188 professionals and 70 volunteers.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting universal well-being are central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Education is the foundation for improving both our lives and sustainable development. Beyond improving people's quality of life, access to inclusive and equitable education can help equip local communities with the tools they need to develop innovative solutions to the world's biggest problems.
Energy is central to almost every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today, whether it be for jobs, security, climate change, food production or to increase incomes. Universal access to energy is essential.
A robust economy has long been recognised as one that requires investments in infrastructure (transport, irrigation, energy, information and communications technology). These are essential for achieving sustainable development, empowering societies in many countries, fostering increased social stability and making cities more resilient to climate change.
Cities are hotbeds of ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to progress socially and economically. In recent decades, the world has experienced unprecedented urban growth. In 2015, about 4 billion people lived in cities, and that number is projected to rise to about 5 billion by 2030. Urban planning and management therefore need to be improved to make the world's urban spaces more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
