I’d like to collaborate with Alboan

A Jesuit International Cooperation Non-profit Organisation in the Basque Country and Navarre (Spain)

We defend the right to education as a means to improve the living conditions of the excluded and vulnerable, while championing their participation in building a more inclusive, solidary and fair society.

123 million minors still do not have access to education, 60% of which are girls.

One in three adults is illiterate—of this group, two-thirds are women.

The highest levels of poverty and of social, ethnic and gender inequality are in regions of the world where the individuals have been denied their right to education.

The fight for the right to education is not only a fight for education, but also a fight for social justice and human dignity.

Here are some of the groups we work with and locations of where we operate:

SOUTH AMERICA

We collaborate with Fe y Alegria and IGER in South America to offer educational opportunities to the poorest neighbourhoods, rural areas and jungle regions, working with indigenous villages and youth who are at risk of social exclusion.

ASIA

In Asia, we support educational centres who collaborate with the Society of Jesus and who mainly work with excluded persons such as the Dalit (the “Untouchables”) and the Adivasi (indigenous peoples of India).

AFRICA

In Africa, we work in collaboration with the Jesuit Refugee Service to provide educational services to refugee and displaced persons camps in the region of the African Great Lakes. We also collaborate with Fe y Alegria to strengthen the network of rural schools in the DRC, Chad and Madagascar.
