Viajar transforma: Así cambiamos vidas en 2025

Travel transforms: this is how we change lives in 2025

There are moments in the history of an organization when the future is written by many hands. Today is one of those days. Because every project approved in the 2024 Fund call of Fundación Europamundo is not just a list of names, figures, or countries: it is the sum of dreams, struggles, and hopes intertwined to change realities. And it is proof that travel transforms: this is how we change lives.

Behind every selected proposal, there are communities that do not ask for compassion but for opportunities; people who do not wait to be rescued but recognized as agents of transformation. It is they who, with every small step, sow the seed of change that multiplies — like a stone thrown into water, whose echo reaches much farther than we imagine.

In a world where urgency and emergency dictate priorities, Fundación Europamundo bets on what is essential: empowering the talent, dignity, and resilience of those who are often left out of the big headlines.

Every euro invested is a declaration of trust in the power of small things: the school that rises, the well that gives life, the workshop that opens horizons. Because we know that great transformations are born from daily and concrete gestures, and that true progress is measured in stories of overcoming, not in statistics.

This year, thanks to the commitment of Europamundo Vacaciones and every traveler who chose to discover the world with us, we celebrate the approval of projects that cross borders and embrace cultures. More than funding actions, we invest in human potential: community leaders, entrepreneurial women, dreaming youth, boys and girls who, thanks to an opportunity, can write their own destiny.

And if your project was ever not selected, remember: here, every story counts and every attempt is a step forward. The door is always open for new ideas, for perseverance, and for those who believe that improving the life of a few can, over time, change the world for all.

Today, we invite you to discover the projects approved for 2025. But, above all, we invite you to be part of this network of hope and action, where every grain of sand adds up and every voice has the power to inspire a fairer and more humane future.

Because we know that great transformations are born from daily and concrete gestures, and that true progress is measured in stories of overcoming, not in statistics.

The Value of Each Project and Each Person

In every corner where Fundación Europamundo has planted its support, stories bloom that remind us of a powerful truth: we do not finance deficiencies, we invest in potential.
Every approved project is much more than a line on a spreadsheet; it is the spark that ignites transformation in communities that, far from waiting for help, rise as protagonists of their own destiny.
Behind every concrete action— the school that is reborn, the well that brings water to a village, the workshop that opens doors to new trades— there are people who do not define themselves by what they lack, but by all they can become. They are community leaders, brave women, dreaming young people, and children who, with an opportunity, rewrite their story and that of their environment.
Because true impact is not measured only in numbers or reports: it is felt in regained dignity, in ignited hope, in the self-esteem of those who discover that their voice matters.
When a small association manages to transform the daily life of its neighborhood, the cascading effect reaches far beyond what we imagine. Thus, every euro invested in a local action multiplies in every smile, every door that opens, every future that is built.
At Fundación Europamundo, we know that real change is born from the everyday, from small victories that, added together, defy the logic of resignation and demonstrate that solidarity is the most powerful force to transform the world.

That is why we choose to support projects that are born from the community and for the community, where the real experts are those who live the reality and know their needs and dreams better than anyone.

Investing in these people is betting on agents of transformation, on stories that inspire and spread hope. It is they who, with their example, teach us that improving the lives of a few can, over time, change the lives of all.

Behind every concrete action—the school that is reborn, the well that brings water to a village, the workshop that opens doors to new trades—there are people who do not define themselves by what they lack but by all they can become.

Approved Projects 2025: List, Institutions, Countries, SDGs, and Total Value

This year, as Fundación Europamundo celebrates 14 years and more than €2.7 million invested in social impact, it also celebrates the approval of a new wave of projects that cross borders, embrace cultures, and sow hope where it is most needed.

Each selected initiative is a living testimony that small actions, when combined, generate a global impact. And proof that travel transforms: this is how we change lives.

Below, we present the projects approved in the 2024 fund call for implementation in 2025, highlighting the responsible institutions, countries where they will be developed, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) they contribute to.

The total investment for 2025 amounts to €292,500 — an amount that represents much more than resources: it is confidence in human potential and the strength of communities to transform their reality — because travel transforms.

Total investment value 2025:

€292,500 destined for projects in 14 countries across 4 continents, contributing to more than 10 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda.

Each of these projects represents a trust alliance between Fundación Europamundo, local organizations, and the real protagonists: the communities. These initiatives focus on education, health, inclusion, gender equality, access to basic resources, and sustainable development.

Because behind every name and every figure, there are stories of overcoming, collective dreams, and a future we are building together. We change lives; the world changes too.

Europamundo Foundation's Philosophy

At the Europamundo Foundation, we believe that true social change does not come from grand speeches but from concrete and everyday actions.

Our philosophy is simple and powerful: to support small institutions, community associations, and local foundations that are often excluded from large funding circuits due to bureaucracy or lack of resources. Here, every project is a seed of transformation, and every community is fertile ground where human potential can flourish.

Why Do We Prioritize the Small and Local?

Because we know that great revolutions start on the most intimate scale: a school rising in a forgotten neighborhood, a well bringing water to a village, a workshop opening new opportunities for youth and women. These small victories, added together, generate a cascading effect capable of transforming realities and, over time, the entire world.

An Open, Participative, and Human Process

Contrary to what some might think, it is not the board or a single person who decides which projects receive funding. It is the collaborators of Europamundo Vacaciones —people with experience, sensitivity, and social commitment— who, as volunteers, analyze, debate, and choose the projects that can generate the most impact in the current context.

Thus, every euro invested results from a collective and transparent decision aligned with local urgency and emergency principles.

Rotation, Opportunity, and Social Justice

We understand that some projects require continuity and for this reason, we open calls every year. Long-term projects must be submitted again, competing on equal terms with new proposals.

Sometimes, a project that has been funded for years may make way for another with greater social urgency. This does not mean it loses value; rather, the Foundation seeks to balance support, give opportunities to more communities, and respond to the most pressing needs of the moment.

Investing in People, Not in Deficiencies

Our mission is clear: we do not see beneficiaries as deprived individuals but as agents of transformation. We invest in their potential, their capacity to lead change from within, and their right to build a dignified future. Every funded action is an investment in dignity, autonomy, and hope.

Social Responsibility That Goes Beyond Philanthropy

Fundación Europamundo also reflects the commitment of Europamundo Vacaciones to corporate social responsibility. We not only allocate resources but promote volunteering among our employees, encourage solidarity campaigns, and foster a culture of service and empathy.

Because we understand that traveling is not only about seeing the world but also about transforming it. Travel transforms!

A Sustainable and Replicable Impact Model

By distributing small grants among many projects, we multiply the reach and effectiveness of every euro invested. We bet on practical, immediate, and sustainable solutions that improve daily life and open new future perspectives.

We know we cannot change the world all at once, but we can improve it for some, whose achievements and dreams, in turn, will inspire others and create a virtuous circle of transformation. This way, we change lives, together, to change the world.

At Fundación Europamundo, every project is a story of hope, each community a driver of change, and every person an opportunity to build a more just, humane, and supportive world.

The Process: Transparency, Participation, and Community

At the Europamundo Foundation, transparency and participation are not just words but the foundation of every decision and step we take. Our project selection and monitoring process is open, rigorous, and deeply human because we believe only in this way can a solid and transformative community be built.

Transparency at Every Stage

From the publication of the annual call in September to the communication of selected projects, the process is designed to be clear and accessible.

Evaluation criteria are available to all organizations, and every proposal is analyzed objectively, prioritizing real impact, feasibility, and social urgency. Projects must demonstrate how they will transform lives and communities and how they contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Participation of the Entire Europamundo Family

What makes our model unique is that the decision does not rest on a single person or distant management: it is the employees and collaborators of Europamundo Vacaciones who, as volunteers, actively participate in evaluating and selecting projects.

This participatory approach ensures that aid responds to the social sensitivity of the moment and the diversity of perspectives within our organization.

Global Community, Local Impact

Every funded project is the result of a network of trust and collaboration between the Foundation, local organizations, and beneficiary communities.

This network further expands thanks to the commitment of travelers with Europamundo Vacaciones: for every traveler, part of their trip is transformed into opportunities for others. Thus, our clients also become agents of change, and every trip leaves a positive footprint in the world.

Volunteering and Hands-On Cooperation

Our corporate volunteer program gives Europamundo Vacations employees the opportunity to get directly involved in projects on the ground—learning, sharing, and teaming up with the nonprofits and associations we support.

This hands-on experience enriches everyone involved, helps build bridges between cultures, and multiplies the positive impact of each effort.

A Positive Cycle of Solidarity

This open and collaborative approach creates a win-win situation for all: communities receive meaningful support tailored to their needs, small organizations gain a platform to grow, employees experience the true value of solidarity, and travelers see how their choices can make a difference far beyond tourism.

At the Europamundo Foundation, every project tells a shared story, every decision is made together, and every action invites participation. We believe that only a caring, informed, and active community can change today and lay the groundwork for a more just and humane future.

The Ripple Effect: Small Actions, Big Transformations

At the Europamundo Foundation, we believe in the unstoppable power of small actions. Every project we fund, no matter how modest it seems, is like the first domino piece—once it falls, it sets off a chain reaction of positive change.
What starts with fixing up a rural school, digging a well, delivering basic supplies, or training a small group of women ends up transforming neighborhoods, communities, and over time, entire regions.

Stories That Inspire, Changes That Multiply

Think about a school built in a remote village: it’s not just a place for education, but a community hub, a safe space, and a driver of local development. Or consider a well dug in an African village: every drop of water pulled from it means life, health, and time saved for girls and women who no longer have to walk miles to get this essential resource.

These achievements don’t stop in the present. The children educated today will become tomorrow’s leaders, teachers, and change-makers. The women trained now will build support networks, start businesses, and create new opportunities for their families and neighbors. That’s how impact multiplies, generation after generation.

The Power of Everyday Actions

We never underestimate the value of the small things: a water tank, a library, a sewing workshop, a health campaign, a digital literacy course. These seemingly simple actions solve real daily problems and plant hope where it’s needed most.

We know social transformation doesn’t happen overnight or through isolated grand gestures. It happens when many hands, hearts, and wills come together to improve what’s right in front of them. Because, as the communities we support have taught us, changing the world starts with changing someone’s life today.

A Model That Breaks Barriers

The Europamundo Foundation focuses on projects that, because of their size and local focus, can be adapted, replicated, and scaled. A solution that works in one community can inspire another in a different country to follow the same path. The ripple effect knows no borders—it crosses languages, cultures, and geography.

The Journey Continues

Every euro invested, every volunteer mobilized, every smile restored is a seed planted in fertile soil. Sometimes the results are immediate; other times, they require patience and perseverance. But the change always comes.

That’s why at the Europamundo Foundation, we celebrate every small victory as the start of a great transformation. We know we can’t change the world all at once, but we can make it better for some. And through them, the whole world can begin to change.

Not all journeys are for pleasure. Among the agents of change are those forced to travel, like refugees and asylum seekers, and those who embark on an inner journey—sometimes in the dark—like many participants in our Shining in the Dark contest.

Our tourist travelers help transform the lives of these “other travelers,” those who know where their journey begins but never where it will end. In the end, we are all travelers in this life. And so, every trip becomes a journey with purpose.

Social Responsibility and Corporate Volunteering: When Travel Changes Lives

At the Europamundo Foundation, social responsibility isn’t just a section in the annual report—it’s the heartbeat of every project, every trip, and every person who’s part of our community.

We firmly believe that traveling is not only about seeing the world but also about changing it. That’s why social action and corporate volunteering are core to who we are.

A Commitment Beyond Donations

The Europamundo Foundation organizes and supports campaigns for collecting food, toys, and clothes, donates to hospitals and libraries, and backs emergency initiatives during humanitarian crises, natural disasters, or pandemics.

But our commitment goes far beyond one-time aid: we encourage active participation from employees, guides, and their families in volunteer activities both in Spain and across countries in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

Corporate Volunteering: Employees Who Inspire and Learn

Every year, dozens of Europamundo Vacations employees volunteer with social and environmental projects, partnering with allied NGOs in diverse activities such as:

  • Supporting homeless people

  • Training job seekers over 45 years old

  • Assisting people with disabilities

  • Educating vulnerable children

  • Reforestation efforts

  • Collecting bottle caps for medical causes

  • Organizing charity markets

These experiences benefit not only those receiving help but deeply enrich the volunteers, fostering empathy, leadership, and a more human view of the world.

Travel Transforms: Every Traveler as a Change Agent

For years, Europamundo Vacations has dedicated a portion of the revenue from each traveler to the Foundation. This means every person who chooses our tours directly contributes to changing lives in more than a dozen countries.

Responsible tourism becomes a force for social development and a chain of solidarity that crosses all borders.

A Company Culture Where Everyone Is Part of the Solution

Social responsibility is a core value at Europamundo. We promote participation in internal campaigns, awareness workshops, talks on sustainability and human rights, and support global initiatives like the United Nations Global Compact.

Moreover, the Europamundo Foundation invites all employees to propose, lead, and join social actions, creating a company culture where solidarity, diversity, and inclusion are part of everyday life.

Stories That Leave a Mark

Behind every campaign, every euro donated, and every hour volunteered, there are real stories: children receiving books and toys, families gaining access to food and medicine, communities getting new water wells or schools, women finding support to escape violence, and homeless people regaining dignity.

These are small but powerful victories showing that when a company and its employees choose to get involved, the positive impact multiplies—and the journey, both literally and figuratively, becomes a transformative experience for all.

Thank You!

Today, as we look back on the journey and celebrate the projects that have come to life, we know the true power of the Europamundo Foundation lies in the sum of thousands of small actions and the generosity of those who believe that change starts locally and spreads like an unstoppable wave.

To all the organizations whose projects have been approved, our deepest thanks: you are living proof that impact isn’t measured by the size of the aid but by the real transformation of lives and communities.

To those who submitted projects that weren’t selected this year, we want to say: this is not goodbye—it’s see you soon. The process is cyclical, the doors remain open, and your persistence is an essential part of this movement. Every proposal is valued with respect and care, and often, what waits today blooms tomorrow.

To the travelers of Europamundo Vacations: every destination you choose, every experience you live goes far beyond a personal adventure. You are, often without realizing it, the silent drivers of hundreds of stories of change in more than a dozen countries. Your curiosity, your desire to explore, and your choice to travel with purpose transform realities and multiply opportunities. Thank you for being part of this global chain of solidarity!

To employees, volunteers, and collaborators: your involvement, your attentive eyes, and your passion for service are the engine that makes the Europamundo Foundation keep growing and reaching further every day. You are the voice, the heart, and the hands of this collective project.

Today, more than ever, we reaffirm our commitment: to keep investing in those small but powerful actions, in the diversity of cultures, in inclusion and dignity, in sustainable development, and in building a fairer world. We know we can’t change the world all at once, but we can make it better for many. And through them, the whole world can begin to change.

We invite you to join us:

  • Travel with purpose. Because traveling transforms: this is how we change lives.

  • Volunteer your time.

  • Share this story and help spread the ripple effect.

Because together, we are stronger. Because every gesture counts. Because the future is built today, by all of us.

Thank you for believing, for acting, and for transforming. Let’s keep traveling, dreaming, and changing the world—one step, one project, one life at a time!
