Amics del Moviment Quart Món Catalunya

Supporting families in Barcelona

Amics del Moviment Quart Món Catalunya is a Barcelona nonprofit working to advance social inclusion for families facing hardship. Its work focuses on three pillars: education, housing, and the resources people need for a dignified life. It pays particular attention to a group of Galician-Portuguese families who have lived in the city for more than 20 years, many in trucks, caravans, and informal settlements.

• Academic support: Tutoring one to four days a week for children, along with activities about children's rights.
• Family support: Home visits and help with paperwork for families facing exclusion. In the 2015–16 school year, the organization supported 50 families, or 219 people.

• Educational recreation: Recreational and free-time activities for 49 children and young people, including cultural outings and camps.
