Adevida - Asociación en defensa de la Vida Humana

What Adevida - Asociación en defensa de la Vida Humana does

Adevida (Asociación en Defensa de la Vida Humana) is a Madrid-based civil non-profit association founded on June 4, 1979, and recognized as a Public Utility entity by the Spanish government in 1997. The organization operates the Centro de Apoyo a la Mujer Embarazada, which provides support services to pregnant women and infants during their first year of life, including counseling, material aid, and referrals delivered through a network of volunteer advisors, contracted social workers, and collaborating pediatricians.

The organization runs no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-intensive and delivered through physical and partnership-based channels. Operationally, Adevida coordinates around 27 volunteer advisors, 2 contracted social workers, 21 collaborators, and 3 pediatricians, anchored by a small paid staff of 5. Outreach and referral channels include Hospital Ramón y Cajal (health education workshops), Banco de Alimentos de Madrid (food assistance), parishes, schools, and Comunidad de Madrid social services.

Adevida's revenue model is a non-profit mix of member contributions, individual donations, and public grants—principally from the Comunidad de Madrid. In January 2024 it added Bizum as a digital donation channel to broaden small-ticket giving. There is no disclosed revenue figure, no commercial product, and no paid beneficiary fee structure; the beneficiary and donor base is concentrated in the Madrid region.
