Plena Inclusión Zafra

What Plena Inclusión Zafra does

Plena Inclusión Zafra (formerly APROSUBA-1) is a non-profit association founded in 1967 in Zafra, Extremadura, Spain, providing comprehensive social services for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the lifecycle. Its service portfolio spans early intervention (Atención Temprana for ages 0–6), day habilitation (Centro de Día with 6 specialized classrooms serving ~38 users), occupational habilitation (Centro Ocupacional with 5 workshops—carpentry, horticulture, laundry, and two industrial assembly lines serving Deutz Spain—capped historically at 75 users), residential care (Residencia Antonio Tomillo with 35 places split between Apoyo Extenso and Apoyo Limitado), functional habilitation, and therapeutic services including physiotherapy, speech therapy, multisensory stimulation, equine therapy, and hydrotherapy. The organization also operates Club de Ocio Koala for leisure, Club Deportivo El Bellotín for national-level FEDDI sports competition, self-management user groups, a monthly radio program on Emisur, and structured family support programs.

The business model is primarily public-sector funded: core services are provided free of charge to users and financed through concerto/convenio (concert) agreements with the Extremadura Regional Government's Consejería de Salud y Políticas Sociales, with access gated by CADEX disability certification and regional residency. Secondary revenue streams include philanthropic grants (Obra Social La Caixa, ADENEX, Fundación Ciudadanía), workshop product sales (carpentry, laundry, industrial assembly), individual donations, and membership fees under the 'Asóciate!' program. The organization is a member of the Plena Inclusión Extremadura federation and the national Plena Inclusión movement, operating under the FEAPS quality model and Schalock & Verdugo quality-of-life framework.

Go-to-market is sales-led via government concert agreements and community-led via volunteer and membership drives. Distribution is direct through owned facilities in Zafra (headquarters, Club de Ocio Koala), Puebla de Sancho Pérez (equine therapy), and Almendralejo (hydrotherapy pool). Approximately 35 staff operate across services, with capacity near full occupancy across residential and day programs.

Revenue model

1. Public Concert/Convenio Funding: The primary revenue source is public funding through regional government concert agreements (convenios) with the Extremadura Regional Government (Consejería de Salud y Políticas Sociales). Services such as Centro de Día, Centro Ocupacional, Residencia, Atención Temprana, and Habilitación Funcional are funded through these public concert/plaza arrangements. Users receive services free of direct charge.
2. Social Work / Philanthropic Grants: Project-based grants from foundations such as Obra Social de Caixa Bank (supporting the multisensory room and computer courses), Adenex (environmental programs), and Fundación Ciudadanía (talent platform). These fund specific programs and capital investments.
3. Workshop Product Sales: The Centro Ocupacional workshops generate nominal revenue through product sales: carpentry produces furniture and packaging for local industries (winemaking, olive oil, meat); laundry services serve hotels, hairdressers, and restaurants; assembly line workshops serve Deutz Spain. Revenue is secondary to the habilitation mission.
4. Donations and Membership Fees: Individual donations and membership fees ('Asóciate!') from associates provide supplemental funding. The website features an online donation module with options for one-time, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual giving.
