We, the Spanish students of the College of Europe’s in Natolin Jacques Delors Promotion (2024-2025), with the support of the College, are organizing a charity initiative to support Valencia after its historic flooding in October. This disaster affected over 845,000 citizens, claimed more than 200 lives, and devastated key infrastructures, including a school in Benetússer: Nuestra Señora del Socorro.

The Crisis in Valencia

The flood, caused by record-breaking rainfall, destroyed homes, displaced families, and revealed gaps in disaster management. Communities have relied on grassroots solidarity for recovery.

Our Mission

This project aims to fundraise for the reconstruction of the school Nuestra Señora del Socorro, focusing on restoring damaged buildings and educational materials. It will also raise awareness and foster solidarity through campus-wide activities, including solidarity sport matches, a race, coffee, a letter-writing workshop, and a commemorative act.

About Nuestra Señora del Socorro

Nuestra Señora del Socorro is a primary and secondary school with over 200 students between 3 and 16 years old. The school serves as a cornerstone for the Benetússer community, offering education and support to local children and families. The school comprises two main buildings and outdoor areas that were significantly damaged during the floodings.

Despite the challenges, the school is making efforts to recover basic functionality, but the financial burden of repairs and replacement remains immense. The total damages are estimated at around several hundred thousand Euros, covering necessary rebuilding and the replacement of lost materials and equipment.
