The Andorran Ministry of Social Affairs has received an anonymous €220,000 bequest from a resident's estate, earmarked for the La Gavernera Residential Educational Action Centre (CRAE).
Government officials confirmed the donation in a statement, noting that the funds will support extraordinary activities for all minors under state tutela, rather than everyday operations at the centre. This aligns with the donor's explicit instructions in the will. The individual, who established a long-term personal and professional life in the Principat, intended the gift as a gesture of thanks to the country. Executives described it as an act of solidarity aimed at boosting opportunities, wellbeing, and future prospects for children and adolescents in state care.
La Gavernera, located in Andorra la Vella, currently accommodates 26 children and teenagers unable to live with parents or immediate family. The centre addresses judicially determined cases of neglect by providing safety, educational support, family and social reintegration, care for physical and mental health, and holistic personal growth.
The bequest highlights a growing trend of charitable legacies in Andorra. Recent awareness campaigns by non-profits, such as those from Caritas, have promoted such donations through wills to aid social initiatives.
