Fuerteventura Cabildo commits €24,500 to Cáritas support programme
The funding supports Cáritas Diocesana de Canarias in helping people and families facing vulnerability or social exclusion in Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura’s Cabildo is providing €24,500 to support Cáritas Diocesana de Canarias in its work with people and families facing vulnerability or social exclusion.
The funding, provided through the island council’s Social Action department, supports a programme offering guidance and ongoing assistance, as well as help with basic needs such as food and hygiene. It also helps people and families work towards greater independence, social inclusion and employment.
The collaboration agreement was signed by Cabildo president Lola García, Social Action councillor Víctor Alonso and Gonzalo Marrero, representing Cáritas. The programme received a total of €105,000 from the Social Action department over the four years from 2023 to 2026.
More than 640 people supported in 2025
The programme assisted 229 households in 2025, 12 more than in the previous year. More than 640 people took part in personal or community development activities.
Of the households supported in 2025, 46% had approached Cáritas for the first time.
