Our programs

Each program responds to a real community need in Tenerife and is supported by institutional agreements and scientific evidence.

✽  Program access

Can you benefit from our programs?

Each program has its own eligibility criteria. Some require referral through municipal social services, while others can be requested directly.

On the How We Help page, we explain step by step how the process works, who can access it, and what you need to take the first step.
