Giving back

A BUSINESS Association from the Balearic Islands often gives back to the local community, but this time CAEB Empresarios went one step further, taking a trip to Anantapur in India to collaborate with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation on crucial community projects.

The group of 40 businesspeople from all over the Balearic Islands, including many from Mallorca, travelled to Udiripikonda Thanda, a town north of Anantapur, on Friday, February 10. There they worked to support the Vicente Ferrer Foundation’s project with vulnerable women, children and disabled people living in poverty.

Between CAEB, members of the organisation funded 23 homes for women in the town, with a total of 59 homes given out by the foundation. The homes are registered in the women’s names which prevents abuses of power.

The President of CAEB, Carmen Planas spoke during the official handover of the homes, “This is a proud moment, as president of CAEB to see these homes finished and to be able to deliver them thanks to the support from our businesspeople who have been investing in this project for years. These houses empower women who have nothing.”
