Mission Statement
"Enraíza Derechos" is a non-profit organization declared of public utility and qualified to be a recipient of grants provided by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) since 2005. It has more than 35 years of experience in development cooperation and the fight against poverty in several countries in Latin America and Africa. During the last few years, "Enraíza Derechos" has developed a working strategy centered on the human rights to health, food and water, with the acknowledgement that several socio economic factors prevent the realization of those rights for the most vulnerable populations. In order to influence those social determinants, "Enraíza Derechos" promotes development processes (usually in rural communities living in extreme poverty) that tackle cross cutting issues and combine several lines of action. These processes always take place in collaboration with local public authorities and also aim to strengthen local capacities to both advocate for public policies that guarantee their rights and to ensure social control for their compliance. In line with its institutional gender policy, "Enraíza Derechos" promotes equality between men and women across all of its development processes. With regards to awareness and advocacy campaigns, "Enraíza Derechos" has led the “Right to Food. Urgent” campaign since 2003. This campaign has established itself as reference for Spanish civil society as well as for development agents in the design, development and consolidation of public policies targeting development cooperation and the fight against hunger. In addition, since 2011, "Enraíza Derechos" also leads the “Social Determinants of Health, understanding that Health is a Right” campaign. The aim of this campaign is to provide information on the human right to health and on the influence of social determinants in creating avoidable, unjust and unnecessary inequalities. Also since 2014, "Enraíza Derechos" leads the campaign #yonodesperdicio (I do not waste) seeks to create a network to facilitate food donation or exchange and thus reduce its wasting. Yonodesperdicio is, above all, a community of people helping reduce household food waste with a simple gesture. This platform, to be used from the website or from your phone, also makes it easy for you to share tips and recipes, or learn about organizations that are located in your proximity for possible collaboration.
