As we have explained in other projects in recent months, our home of opportunities has also become a place of refuge for people fleeing war. For more than six months we have been welcoming hundreds of people arriving in Spain, mainly women and children.
In our home we have worked with women to provide them with housing, food and documentation. We have also focused on helping them to learn the language and to find work: two big challenges, which we have been able to overcome.
Today we are happy to announce that many women have found employment and although the situation is still very difficult, they have their own income and a safe and welcoming place to live. Among the jobs secured, we have made an agreement with a company that manages the cleaning of the streets of the city of Madrid, which has greatly facilitated the process so that they can obtain formal employment contracts.
Thank you to all who make this possible!
