We started 33 years ago with a simple belief: that poverty and injustice are not inevitable. That with the right support, every community has the strength to change its own story.

That with the right support, every community has the strength to change its own story. COOPERA is an independent organisation - no political affiliation, no religious agenda. Just a deep, stubborn commitment to the people we work with. We work in three ways that reinforce each other. In Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, we support communities through development projects focused on food sovereignty, agricultural training, and economic empowerment - with women always at the centre. Because we know that when a woman gains independence, her whole community moves forward with her. In humanitarian emergencies - wars, earthquakes, crises - we deploy rapid response teams and stay long after the emergency ends, supporting the slow, invisible work of rebuilding lives. And in Spain and Europe, we work with young people and educators to build a generation that understands the world it lives in - and wants to change it. We do not believe in charity. We believe in justice. And we believe that education, in all its forms, is the most powerful tool we have to get there.
