Enraíza Derechos (antes Prosalus)

What Enraíza Derechos (antes Prosalus) does

Enraíza Derechos (formerly Prosalus) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1985 and headquartered in Madrid, operating with 16 employees across seven regional offices in Spain (Madrid, Gipuzkoa, Córdoba, Castilla y León, Toledo, Bizkaia, Valencia). The organization pursues a mission of food systems transformation, targeting food insecurity, malnutrition, food waste, gender inequality in rural communities, and the environmental impacts of current food systems. It delivers its work through two principal streams: international cooperation programs with impoverished populations and local partner organizations in Bolivia, Mozambique, Peru, and Senegal; and domestic activity in Spain covering global citizenship education, food waste reduction (Desperdicio Cero), policy advocacy, and training/advisory services to institutions and school canteens. The portfolio includes named campaigns such as #SembramosCambios, #CuidandoLaRaíz, #Cambia de POV, and 'A la tercera va la vencida', plus EU co-financed projects including FORWARD (launched July 2024) and 'Actuación Semilla' with Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

The organization's revenue model is that of a non-governmental development organization rather than a commercial enterprise: income is generated through individual donations, membership subscriptions, corporate partnerships, bequests, and institutional grants (notably the European Union and Ayuntamiento de Madrid). There is no proprietary technology stack beyond standard web tools (Google Analytics, MailChimp), no commercial product, and no pricing model. Governance is provided by a five-member, unpaid Board of Directors elected every three years by a General Assembly of 33 active members. Distribution of programs occurs through direct field implementation via local partners abroad, direct training and advisory services to Spanish schools and institutions, and digital channels (website, newsletter, organic social) for donor engagement and awareness-raising.
