TUCAI visits Vicente Ferrer Foundation in India

The TUCAI company celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2013.
To do so, they chose to support a humanitarian project in India, in collaboration with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, as a way of paying tribute to the element that has given them so much success since 1963 – water. A reservoir with a capacity of 53,000 m3 has completely changed life in Dalits, in the Anantapur region in the south-eastern part of the country.
Meanwhile, employees at the Ningbo Tucai plant in China, TUCAI's Bulgaria plant in Silistra and the Bárbera del Vallès plant (near Barcelona) chose to take part in a second project to facilitate access to education for disabled children in the Andra Pradesh region.
Ester Grau, daughter of one of the Company's founders, travelled to India last December to represent the company, along with a group of employees from all three Group factories.

Ester give us her testimony and her experience of what she saw there:

"You have an idea about India, from people who have been there, people who have talked to you about it, things you have read, and Anantapur is definitely not a tourist destination. Anantapur is in Southern India. It is one of the cities in the State of Andra Pradesh that is the poorest in all of India. This is all the more reason why we did not experience extreme situations, like seeing death on the street, that people talk about who have visited Bombay or been to Delhi. There is a lot of poverty. But what is really tangible is the work the Vicente Ferrer Foundation has done in that city and the surrounding area."

"It is an experience that, if at all possible, everyone should be entitled to have."

"In four days, you arrive at the Foundation and when you leave, you have the sensation that you've completed an intensive master's degree in love and charity, the highest level of a master's degree that you could ever receive."

TU APOYO ES LA LLAVE QUE PUEDE CAMBIARLO TODO
Y ABRIR UNA PUERTA A LA ESPERANZA 

En la India, 400 millones de personas viven bajo el umbral de la pobreza y 55 millones de niños y niñas menores de 5 años sufren desnutrición. 

Desde la Fundación Vicente Ferrer continuamos luchando para cambiar esta realidad y por ello lanzamos nuestra campaña: 

“Somos la llave que puede cambiarlo todo”
