Development cooperation is one of the best examples of generosity and collaboration that we can provide from our privileged position.

For many, many years, and thanks to my aunt Aurora, I have felt a special connection to the African continent, to those who live there and who desire to improve their lives.

After a few years without getting involved in any project because of Aurora's death, destiny knocked on my door. Belén, a graduate student of the UGR, spoke to me with a sparkle in her eyes about what she had achieved and how much could be done in terms of cooperation. I could do nothing but smile, touched!

I made her an exciting long-term proposal called "Project ESPERANZA (hope)". I wanted to collaborate and help the African continent, where a relative of mine, Aunt Aurora, had dedicated her whole life to helping others.

What does the Hope Project consist of?

It consists of raising enough money each year to finance a solidarity project in Africa. For how many years? As many years as the word hope has, nine. In other words, nine letters, nine years, nine projects. We focus on financing basic infrastructures: wells, pipes, sanitation, etc., but also schools, maternity wards and any other way of helping (there are a thousand ways to help).
