Asociación Achalay España

What Asociación Achalay España does

Asociación Achalay España is a Madrid-based non-profit association (ONG) founded in 2003 and recognized as an Entidad de Utilidad Pública by the Spanish Ministry of Interior, operating with 22 employees from its headquarters at C/ Valdecanillas 53 in the San Blas neighborhood. The organization runs two program divisions: Achalay San Blas, a community social-action center providing food bank (since 2012), clothing bank, educational reinforcement, family workshops, and emergency support to children, women, and families at risk of social exclusion; and Achalay Diversidad, which delivers the Diploma LICEO — a two-year vocational training program for youth with intellectual disabilities hosted at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid Faculty of Education, with specialty tracks in Image and Sound, Community Services, Commerce and Marketing, and Atención Social y Salud — plus complementary courses in English, computing, photography, theater, cognitive training, and arts and crafts.

The association is a delivery partner in the CaixaProInfancia network (Obra Social La Caixa) for child welfare programming and operates the PRESAFALIN healthy-lifestyle workshops in partnership with Fundación Gasol. It is accredited by Fundación Lealtad under the 9 Principles of Transparency and Good Management, is a member of Plena Inclusión Madrid and the Red Madrileña EAPN, and received the Premio Fundación Alares 2023 for labor inclusion through the LICEO program.

The revenue model is donation- and grant-based: recurring membership contributions from socios/as, individual donations (tax-deductible in Spain up to 80% for the first €150), institutional funding through CaixaProInfancia and other foundations, and corporate partnerships under the #empresascomprometidas program (Deloitte, Feu Vert, Asisa, Toys R Us, UC3M, among others). The organization reports a cost-efficiency metric of €8.4 of every €10 donated directed to project development. There is no proprietary technology product; service delivery is human-led at the community center and university campus, with awareness and fundraising distributed through the achalay.es website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
