Within the Social Inclusion, Child Guarantee and Fight against Poverty Program, Fundación MAPFRE will manage 30 million euros (20 million from the ESF+ and an additional 10 million from its own resources) in grants awarded through free competition calls aimed at revitalizing rural areas and so-called “empty Spain”, environments that account for almost 8 million people and 85% of Spain’s territory.

The actions to be carried out must contribute to:

  • Promoting social and labor inclusion.
  • Improving equality and opportunities for access to quality, sustainable and affordable services.
  • Promoting people-centered care and boosting social protection, with special emphasis on disadvantaged groups.
  • Improving accessibility for people with disabilities, as well as the effectiveness and resilience of healthcare systems and long-term care services.

All this while ensuring equality, non-discrimination and sustainability.

The beginning of change

Through this call we aim to improve people’s lives, promoting the revitalization of both rural areas and empty Spain.
