Where it works

The foundation's bylaws do not set geographic limits (Article 6). It says it develops projects wherever its work is needed and welcomed. Its first work included study scholarships and an education project in Equatorial Guinea. It later partnered with other organizations in Senegal, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Paraguay, and Nepal, providing infrastructure, organizational support, or staff. The foundation says most of those projects continued for several years, drawing on the cooperation experience of Dr. Jordi Seuba.

Today, the foundation focuses on the full development of the Balmes-Bata school and on smaller projects and partnerships in Spain.
