Letter of the president

Dear friends and collaborators, What seems like a dream when the foundation was founded in 2009 is reality now: A center for young people with severe disability, fully adapted to be a home for them in the first place. We did it! We opened the doors of our LKF Center on October 26th 2014 thanks to the hard work and dedication of the construction team, coordinated by one of our board members, Elena Guembe Fesser. We finished the building in record time – only 13 months! Thank you very much to all involved! We can only conduct our projects thanks to the collaboration of many people and organizations. Especially in 2014 A BIG THANK YOU to all those who have made this building possible, that will be a support for many families. We started with hydrotherapy before the end of 2014. Actually in 2015 we are continuously increasing our therapy-offer. We still need your help to do this, or perhaps more help than ever, because implementation is not easy, as we all know. You can help us in many ways: supporting us as a member, organizing an event, volunteering, etc. The reward for all the hard work is the smile of the young people who visit the Center!

We have four bicycles attached to wheelchairs, which function in tandem mode. The person with disability seats forward facing in a wheelchair while the companion cycles for them.

These bicycles provide children and youth with disabilities a rich entertainment experience as well as a means of sustainable mode of transport. Moreover, the latest generation model of thesebicycles allows the independent use of the componentpieces. Therefore, the wheelchair could be used as chair for support or to stroll around.

TRANSPARENCYTransparency is a key value for our foundation. Therefore, in 2013 we have voluntarily submitted to the analysis of the Fundación Lealtad, fulfilling all the principles of good practice set.

Fundación Lealtad (Loyalty Foundation) is a non-profit organization that analyzes transparency and good practices of NGOs, providing publicly available information to help you decide which entity you want to collaborate with.

This is how we can proudly expose the Logos of screened NGOs, which are listed entities in the Transparency Guide.

“ ... It aims to strengthen donor’s confidence in NGOs and show their commitment to transparency. The logos listed clearly communicates that the NGO has been analyzed by the Foundation. Analyzed NGOs help promote responsible donation practice... Therefore, if you find a logo on memory, website, newsletters, etc. of any NGO, you shall and can inform yourselves further before donation. You can learn more by reading the results of the transparency analysis and good practices of an NGO by visiting our website-- www.guiatransparenciaong.org “ Source : www.fundacionlealtad.org We encourage you to consult !
