Sevilla Solidaria Gala

The aim of the event is to highlight the commitment of solidarity associations in Seville. Since 2013, Konecta Foundation, Fundación La Caixa and ABC Sevilla have been promoting “Sevilla Solidaria”, a news portal featuring the activities carried out throughout the province by social organisations.

Organised by the newspaper ABC Sevilla, the latest event aimed to thank and recognise the work and efforts of all the social organisations in the province. This initiative aims to make visible the work of all these entities that fight to improve the lives of people in vulnerable situations, in addition to organising events that help to raise funds. The aim is to contribute in the most difficult situations, to accompany each and every one of the people who deal with social exclusion, in order to achieve a more inclusive and egalitarian society, which will only be achieved if everyone does their part.

Aware of this, Seville has been welcoming and attending to different kinds of groups for years, from people fighting against an illness to social inclusion. In addition, this project also tries to help families without sufficient resources, as well as developing communities in other countries.

During the gala, Graciela de la Morena, Director of Konecta Foundation, thanked all the associations and, especially, the volunteers and highlighted their “great responsibility from the business sphere to seek mechanisms that support our environment in order to do our bit to mitigate in some way the injustices of society”. Konecta Foundation’s director added that “companies cannot live outside these realities”.
