In the current context of growing inequalities, companies can and must be a key player for social cohesion. To achieve this, we support people in vulnerable situations through our foundations. This involves both the efforts of people from within our company as well as collaboration with bodies and organizations that have been leading the way on these issues for years. Through our Collective Action pillar we seek to carry out actions that contribute to giving back everything we can to society, by reinvesting where it is truly needed, making a difference through volunteering, and building alliances. These are some examples of the main milestones achieved in 2023. We are Ferrer. Ferrer for good 💙💚

Local resource mobilization is hindered by specific socio-economic and cultural barriers. In various communities, significant untapped potential exists within local networks and business ecosystems. Yet, civil society organizations often face challenges in effectively harnessing these resources due to inadequate capacities. ⁉️ These challenges include a limited understanding of local economic dynamics, minimal engagement with local enterprises, and insufficient cultivation of a culture of philanthropy at the grassroots level. Furthermore, there is a critical gap in aligning these local resources with broader developmental objectives, potentially leading to the underutilization of available assets and missed opportunities for sustainable impact.⚠️ Join us at the 𝗞𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 on 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 from 𝟴 𝗔𝗠 𝘁𝗼 𝟰 𝗣𝗠 as we delve into these issues and more in partnership with the Kenya Community Development Foundation and the Kenya Philanthropy Forum (KPF).

"It was a privilege to coordinate a volunteer workshop for Special Olympics Namibia, where we discussed the significance of volunteerism and its profound impact on both the individual and the organization. Volunteering is a true win-win situation: it fosters personal development, enhances skills, and cultivates a sense of community while significantly supporting the mission of organizations. Let's continue building a culture of service where everyone benefits! #VolunteerLeadership #SpecialOlympicsNamibia #CommunityImpact #GrowthThroughService"
