Mission Statement
Corporate purpose of the entity: Cover basic needs of people with mental and physical disabilities and/or sensory, at risk of social exclusion, NOT covered 100% by any other public or private institution. Background of the project and Main lines of activity: Prójimo Próximo Foundation was created in 2001 to make disable people life easier. People with disabilities and lack of economic resources, the majority at risk of "social exclusion", by providing assistance through support, acquisition of support products, treatments, elimination of Architectural barriers and cultural leisure activities. More than 1000 families living in Spain have benefited from our aid, all of them with a member with a disability and in some cases with more than two members with disabilities. Each year we contribute to the integration of more than 200 people with disabilities, through the celebration of recreational activities for beneficiaries and relatives • The Board personally approves each of the grants and they pay visits to the beneficiaries, not only to ensure that the aid is delivered to a real needy, but also to provide support and empathy to the family. We ensure all aid is delivered with maximum care • The Foundation carries out its work through the collaboration of volunteers, who provide their help on a part-time basis and without remuneration. Two people in staff, Manager and Project Manager, their salary is contributed by a benefactor directly to the foundation and to that end. • We collaborate side by side with Social Workers from 50 disability support centers: Hospital Centers of the Community of Madrid, Public Schools of Special Education, Social Services, Assistance Centers, Associations and different Foundations related to disability. When the public aid is insufficient to get essential support type ABVD (basic activities of their daily life), Social Workers turn to the Foundation to know the people who are attending and provide what they need. The majority of the aids are for the direct acquisition of support products (prostheses, orthotics, chairs, etc.) and treatments. They always go to families that barely have the economic resources to live, and even less to be able to finance themselves the acquisition of these aids, or to economically complement the support provided by the Administration. What is at stake is their daily autonomy, which would be severely limited if they did not have the solution prescribed for them. The synergy between foundations, such as Oxiria or Sobre Ruedas, has been and is a determining factor in obtaining aid that reaches us. Likewise, we attend the aid that derives from other foundations. • Each request for assistance received must be accompanied by the Social Worker's report, disability certificate (greater than 33%), as well as the optional prescription, and the family economy situation. • In cases where there is a partial economic contribution from the Social Security, called "endorsement", the Foundation acquires the product after checking the Letter of Acceptance of the Endorsement. The support product provider bills the Foundation the amount not covered by Social Security. • In those cases where there is no such economic contribution from Social Security, the Foundation acquires the support product and faces 100% of its cost. Estimated budget for 2020: € 180,000 We do not have any kind of public financial support, despite the fact that most requests come from public instances. We can continue with the project, essential for our plaintiffs (social workers from Community Centers in Madrid, mainly), thanks to a set of fixed fees (subscriptions) and the biannual Exhibition of Solidarity Art. But these revenues only cover 37% of the annual budget, making it essential to raise private funds through companies and social calls.
About This Cause
Objective: Our goal is to exclusively cover the health needs of people with disabilities and without economic means, which Social Security does not cover, making us their only alternative. Necessary needs to be able to maintain a dignified life. The donation of 60,000 euros, would allow us to cover 60 grants, 60 direct beneficiaries, and 120 indirect beneficiaries, up to 180 indirect beneficiaries in the case of children where not only the family but also the school is part of beneficiaries. There are more than 45000 disable people in Madrid requesting assistance!! Our budget cover not more than 150 direct beneficiaries. Your economic contribution would let us open to other Public Schools and Residences where presently we cannot offer our assistance due to lack of economic resources. Project purpose: To cover 60 grants that the Social Security and / or the State do not cover to people with disabilities and in socio-economic situations of extreme need, for the purchase of support products (chairs, prosthesis, dafos, hearing aids, glasses, etc ... ) And treatments that allow them greater autonomy and quality of life. The average cost of each aid is € 1000 Project budget: € 60,000 Typology of the aids: chairs, prosthesis, orthosis, glasses, hearing aids, standing frames, beds, cranes, communicators, housing adaptations, dental treatments, speech therapy, physiotherapy. Nº of direct beneficiaries of the project: 60 Direct Beneficiaries = Assignment € / 1000 € Nº. indirect beneficiaries: 120 Indirect Beneficiaries = Nº. Direct Beneficiaries x 2 (For each direct Beneficiary, we consider a minimum, two indirect beneficiaries in: Family, School, Center Early Care or Therapeutic Center, Physiotherapy Center, Everyday Contexts ...) Project Collective: Persons with minimum disability 33%. 2) The applicant must be assisted by a Social Worker assigned to a public or private center of recognized solvency, a requirement essential to access the Foundation grants. 3) The family unit with low or no economic capacity. 4) In need of support, help or treatment essential for your daily life. 5) With multiple disabilities, psychic and / or sensory physical, by congenital or non-affiliated etiology. Geographical scope in which the project will be developed: Spain (main area is Madrid and surroundings) The project will impact on an area of extreme social need: There are more than 45,000 people with disabilities in the Community of Madrid without sufficient economic resources to access basic products. They are people whose disability is of the ABVD type (because it affects basic activities of their daily life) and cannot perform an activity that allows them a minimum of autonomy if they do not receive aid, this allows them to significantly reduce the severity of their limitations. Social Security does not cover all of your basic needs. Human resources of the project: Foundation staff members: 2 + Volunteers: 10 The Foundation maintains a collaboration agreement signed in 2013 with the Francisco de Vitoria University, through which its students go every week to the CAMF of Leganés visiting the bedridden, accompanying the residents to walks and helping in the PC room or in playful activities. Likewise, thanks to the action of volunteers, various recreational activities are carried out, such as the Masnatur collaboration excursions, and Christmas parties (for the Foundation's children in the Great Residence and another in the CAMF with our resident friends). Detail the monitoring and evaluation systems that will be used along the project: The beneficiaries are visited personally by members of the Board before being granted the aid. The Foundation accredits all its activity through reports to the entity that supports the causes and aid. The Foundation will monitor the impact of the aid on the quality of life of the beneficiaries through contact with the respective Social Workers and with the beneficiaries themselves. Relevant and innovative aspect of the project: The Foundation has no office space and the management of the Projects is done through the particular resources of the Board members and volunteers, therefore, it has no costs to take into account, not even maintenance . All aid go to support products, treatments, play activities and cultural activities There are two people hired to help in the management of the Foundation, but the costs generated (their salaries) are financed by an express donation for this purpose, a private benefactor that covers this need. The project is focused on the solution of specific needs, does not propose a new infrastructure, or that has to be built, or that has to be maintained. Regarding the sustainability of the Foundation, the project will contribute significantly to it. The social workers of Health Centers, hospitals, Social Services, Public Schools of Special Education ... all of them count on us.
