ADEFIS – Who We Are:
The NGO ADEFIS was founded in 2012 in Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain. Our goal is to build a fair society based on respect for human rights for all citizens of the world, especially the most vulnerable. To achieve this, ADEFIS uses non-formal education methods to develop skills and knowledge.
We carry out various humanitarian, sports, cultural, digitalization, educational, and environmental activities. All our initiatives align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our headquarters are in Las Rozas de Madrid (Spain), and we are registered with the Ministry of the Interior of the Government of Spain with No. 601369, operating internationally.
What We Do:
At ADEFIS, we focus on a variety of activities to promote a more just and equitable society:
- HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES: Projects that help vulnerable people by providing basic assistance and emergency support.
- SPORTS: Programs that promote healthy living, social inclusion, personal development, and values like teamwork and discipline.
- CULTURE: Cultural programs that preserve and share cultural heritage, as well as promote creativity and cultural participation.
- DIGITALIZATION: Projects that provide access to technology and digital literacy, reducing the digital divide and improving educational and job opportunities.
- EDUCATION: Non-formal education methods that develop skills and knowledge, especially for those with less access to traditional education.
- ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT: Initiatives that promote sustainability and respect for the environment, in line with the SDGs.
All our activities aim to create a sustainable world and strengthen the most needy communities, focusing on equality and social justice. Since our beginning, ADEFIS has been involved in ERASMUS+ KA1, KA2, KA3, Capacity-Building, European Youth Foundation, and Youth in Action projects. We are accredited by the European Solidarity Corps to send and receive European volunteers and coordinate projects. We also host interns from universities, schools, and institutes.
