What Betania does

Betania (legal name: Asociación Nuevo Hogar Betania) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 2011 and headquartered at Calle Gibraltar nº152, La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz province. Its mission is to provide holistic social intervention to people in situations of social exclusion, including homeless individuals, prisoners and ex-prisoners, immigrants, victims of human trafficking and gender-based violence, and families in poverty. The organization delivers services through five technical areas: Humanitarian Attention and International Protection, Human Trafficking and Gender Violence, Territorial Intervention, Homeless Persons, and Employment and Training, supported by dedicated departments for Project Management and Communication, Human Capital, and Administration. Headcount has scaled from 3 workers at founding to 200+ professionals, and the operational footprint now spans at least 10 Spanish provinces (Cádiz, Sevilla, Málaga, Granada, Huelva, Madrid, Valencia, Tenerife, Barcelona, Bilbao) with international projects in Brazil (Raíces Seguras, Itacaré, 2024–2026) and a prior Ukraine refugee response in April 2022.

Betania's underlying technology is described as a "social services and humanitarian assistance platform" with no proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, mobile app, API, or SDK disclosed; service delivery is conducted through direct human case management at owned facilities and partner-referral networks. The organization is one of only 16 entities accredited by the Government of Spain as specialists in fighting human trafficking for sexual exploitation, was declared an Entity of Public Utility by Spain's Ministry of the Interior in 2017, and was registered as an ONGD with AECID in April 2023.

The business model is non-commercial: services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Funding is diversified across donations and charitable contributions, Spanish government ministry grants (Equality, Social Rights, Migration, Health), regional government subsidies (Junta de Andalucía, Gobierno de Canarias), EU programs (Next Generation EU, ERACIS), and corporate foundation grants (Fundación La Caixa, Fundación Iberdrola, Fundación Osborne, Zurich Foundation, EY, Fundación Ibercaja). Social enterprise revenue is generated through La Tienda de Betania (a physical and online handicraft store), the Escuela de Hostelería Osborne–Betania (hospitality vocational school), and the Atípico by Betania multifunctional inclusion space. The flagship strategic alliance is with Pronovias, for which Betania serves as the sole European ally combating forced marriage.
