Support programme for people affected by the DANA in the Valencian Community and Castilla-La Mancha
In November 2024, the Amancio Ortega Foundation established an aid programme for those affected by the DANA, which, during the last week of October, caused severe flooding and significant personal and material losses in Spain. This aid aims to support individuals who have suffered damage to their homes, furniture, belongings, appliances, work-essential vehicles, and the loss of their source of income.
The aid was processed through the affected municipalities that reported personal damages, with the population being the ultimate beneficiaries. The Amancio Ortega Foundation collaborated with the Diputación de Valencia to identify the affected municipalities, resulting in a total of 40 local entities: 38 in the Valencian Community and 2 in Castilla-La Mancha.
The services of the affected municipalities manage directly the aid, recording the data for the subsequent control of recipients and use of the amounts delivered.
The aid includes the possibility of allocating part of the funds to the hiring of personnel for the management of the process, if necessary.
A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society. Building inclusive partnerships based on principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that put people and the planet at the enter is needed at the global, regional, national and local levels.
