Creand Fundació Boosts Andorran Aid Funding by 32% to €50,000

Creand Fundació raised its funding to Andorran Red Cross and Càritas Andorrana by 32% in 2025, providing €50,000 to support vulnerable families with food and basic goods.

The contribution reached 277 families, totalling 515 individuals, across the year. Francesca Ros, the foundation's director, emphasised staying close to those in need, monitoring social issues, and addressing ongoing vulnerability in Andorran society.

Support to the Andorran Red Cross bolstered the Solidària Shop, operational since 2020 to aid low-income households. In 2025, it served 204 families (394 people) via eight distributions of 10,031 kg—25,137 units including essentials and Christmas hampers. Food made up 87.3% of items, with the balance covering household and personal hygiene products. Creand Fundació allocated €35,270 to the project. Carine Leclerc, the shop's coordinator, explained that quarterly foundation donations allow for a broader product selection, increased quantities per visit, and better alignment with family requirements.

Meanwhile, Càritas Andorrana rolled out its 'Jo com tu' model in 2025, adopting prepaid cards after shutting its food bank in February. The initiative aided 73 families (121 people) with 163 food grants, 36% for emergencies. Creand Fundació funded purchases from January to November at €14,706—roughly 30% of total costs—and donated 185.96 kg of hygiene and household items early in the year. Social worker Marta Roma reported that families welcomed the change, which centres on the individual to enhance dignity, speed up aid, safeguard privacy, and build self-reliance.

The partnership highlights Creand Fundació's sustained backing for local aid groups and efforts to ease hardship.
