Hogar de Tardes Mamá Margarita, one of the humanitarian projects with which Rioma collaborates, received the Insurance Solidarity Award in the Educational Project category at a gala organized by INESE at the Fundación Pablo VI in Madrid.

Twenty-one companies and foundations in the insurance industry presented the Solidarity Insurance Awards to a number of third sector organizations in the fields of disability, medical research, education, social inclusion, the elderly and the protection of children and young people, last Tuesday, November 21, in the auditorium of the Pablo VI Foundation in Madrid. With the funds linked to these awards, the winning organizations will be able to develop initiatives aimed at helping vulnerable groups, promoting research into diseases and carrying out various social projects.

The educational project of Hogar de Tardes Mamá Margarita was recognized for “its commitment to the children of Montilla who live in a situation of social injustice with the aim of promoting their emotional, social, academic and physical development, providing them with an environment that respects their rights and allows them to grow up happy and with opportunities for development”. This project belongs to one of the social contribution programs carried out by the Universal Social Foundation, a non-governmental organization created in Montilla (Córdoba), with which Rioma collaborates in favor of the most disadvantaged by donating a percentage of the company’s profits for the development of its activity.

At present, the Hogar de Tardes welcomes more than 40 children between the ages of 2 and 13 who, in coordination with municipal social services and educational centers, receive comprehensive care that allows them to exercise with greater guarantees not only their basic rights to education, food, health or protection, but also to see their diversity respected, to participate actively in society or to enjoy, like any other child, leisure and play.

INESE’s Director General, Susana Pérez, expressed her satisfaction with the increase in the number of awards in this edition. “It is something to be happy about, although we are always left with the thorn in our side that hundreds of projects, year after year, are left without an award,” he confessed to Marta Solano. “We must be aware of everything we have, but we must also avoid complacency and keep working hard. Work, work and work so that fewer and fewer projects go unawarded,” he added.
