Fundació Àmbit Prevenció

What Fundació Àmbit Prevenció does

Fundació Àmbit Prevenció is a private non-profit foundation headquartered in Barcelona, Catalonia, established in 1993 with approximately 44 employees. The organization delivers community-based social services across four core areas: harm reduction (CRD Robadors day center, Àmbit Dona for female sex workers, Àmbit Home for men including ChemSex support, and a peer-agent program), HIV/AIDS support and research, labor insertion (MAIS and Orienta programs, Motiva't, SAVA autonomous living accompaniment), and gender-based violence prevention and response (Projecte LILIA, Violeta supported housing, and the 'Desnaturalitzant les violències' youth program). Beneficiaries include people who use drugs, sex workers, migrants in regularization processes, people living with HIV, women facing intersecting vulnerabilities, long-term unemployed individuals, and youth.

The foundation operates from offices in Barcelona (C. dels Jocs Florals, 171 and registered address C/ Sant Germà, 5) and Mataró (C. Llauder, 123), with program extensions to Arenys de Mar, Sants, El Prat de Llobregat, and a specialized Montjuïc team added in 2026. Service delivery relies on street-based community intervention, daytime centers, and supported housing rather than digital distribution. The foundation is a member of UNAD (Red de Atención a las Adicciones, 200+ organizations across Spain), Comitè 1r de Desembre (a 20-NGO platform producing the annual 'VIH i discriminació' survey), and Plataforma CEDAW Catalunya.

The organization operates as a grant-funded social foundation: it charges no fees to beneficiaries and does not generate commercial revenue. Funding flows from the Generalitat de Catalunya (Departament d'Igualtat i Feminisme, Departament d'Empresa i Treball), the Servei d'Ocupació de Catalunya (SOC), municipal governments including the Ajuntament de Mataró, and European FEDER funds. In 2021 the foundation received the Generalitat de Catalunya award for the best initiative for the eradication of gender-based violence. Quantified outcomes include 3,180 vulnerability certificates issued during the 2022 regularization process, 768 young people trained in violence prevention, MAIS labor insertion rates of 20-50% across locations, and 194 respondents in the 2025 HIV discrimination survey.
