CODESPA is an international NGO for Development Cooperation founded in 1985 by a group of university professors and businesspeople actively committed to the mission of helping people escape poverty.<\/span><\/p>

In 1992, CODESPA established a branch in Barcelona and, in June 2000, created Fundaci\u00f3 CODESPA Catalunya to better carry out its awareness-raising and fundraising work for social projects. The two organizations work closely together, sharing a mission, vision, and values, projects and technical expertise, as well as international infrastructure and branches.<\/span><\/p>

We also share the presidency and general management, and our Honorary President is His Majesty King Felipe VI.<\/span><\/p>

The current website describes the specific activities of Fundaci\u00f3 CODESPA Catalunya. For a more comprehensive overview of CODESPA, you can visit <\/span>www.codespa.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
