CaixaProinfancia Programme Supports Over 66,000 Children and 41,000 Vulnerable Families in 2024

In a remarkable display of commitment to social welfare, the CaixaProinfancia programme has made a significant impact in Spain by supporting a substantial number of children and families in vulnerable situations. During 2024, the programme extended its assistance to approximately 66,000 children and 41,000 families, highlighting its dedication to addressing poverty and social exclusion.

A Comprehensive Approach to Support

CaixaProinfancia, a programme initiated by the "la Caixa" Foundation in collaboration with Save the Children, focuses on providing multifaceted support to children and families at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The programme operates in various regions across Spain, including urban and rural areas, to ensure that no vulnerable individual is left behind.

Key Initiatives and Partnerships

One of the notable initiatives associated with CaixaProinfancia is its partnership with other social and educational programs. For instance, the programme collaborates with initiatives like the ProFuturo Race 2025, which aims to promote inclusive education and social awareness. This race, scheduled as part of the Movistar Madrid Half Marathon, involves training sessions led by Paralympic athlete Lorenzo Albaladejo and other renowned figures, emphasizing the importance of inclusive and quality education for all[1].

Impact on Local Communities

The programme's extensive reach is evident in its presence in various schools and communities. For example, in Madrid, CaixaProinfancia works with schools such as A La Par (Montecarmelo), Fray Pedro Ponce de León (Aluche), and Monte Abantos (Las Rozas), as well as in Fuenlabrada and Leganés, where it collaborates with Save the Children to provide comprehensive support to families in need[1].

Future Outlook and Community Engagement

As CaixaProinfancia continues to expand its services, it encourages community participation and support. The programme's success is not only measured by the number of families and children it supports but also by the collective effort of volunteers, educators, and community leaders who contribute to its mission.

In a year marked by significant challenges, the CaixaProinfancia programme stands out as a beacon of hope and solidarity, demonstrating the power of collective action in transforming the lives of vulnerable children and families in Spain. As the programme looks to the future, it remains committed to its core objective: ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
