Iberdrola España, through its foundation, has donated €30,000 to the Betania Association to support the emergency relief efforts the organisation is carrying out to help those affected by the recent floods that have hit various towns in the province of Cádiz.

The province has suffered intense episodes of rain and flooding that have caused significant damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure and essential goods.

The financial contribution from the Iberdrola España Foundation will enable Betania to step up its support in the municipalities hardest hit by the emergency, through initiatives such as social, psychological and emotional support for those in particularly vulnerable situations, including the elderly, children and low-income families. The aid also covers the repair and replacement of essential items, particularly in homes affected by floodwater ingress.

Jaime Alfonsín, President of the Iberdrola España Foundation: “The Fundación Iberdrola España thus reaffirms its commitment to society and to addressing the most urgent needs arising from climate emergencies, providing resources to help restore normality to the affected areas in the Cádiz region as soon as possible.”

For her part Begoña Arana Álvarez, president of Betania, stated: “This aid comes at a particularly difficult time for many families who have lost practically everything. At Betania we are working closely with those affected, not only meeting their basic needs but also providing emotional support to those facing extremely difficult circumstances. The support from the Iberdrola Spain Foundation enables us to be where we are most needed and to do so with the care and dignity these people deserve.”

Over €12 million invested in social initiatives

The Iberdrola España Foundation also focuses its activities on its scholarship programme in the fields of energy, biodiversity and the environment, on supporting research into issues related to energy and climate change as well as in the cultural sphere, concentrating on the restoration and maintenance of the cultural and artistic treasures of the Iberian Peninsula's heritage.
