September news!
By Guillermo | Director of the Opportunity Home
In the Women's Opportunity Home, since September, we have expanded the technical team. Now we have a psychologist, a social educator and a social worker. We are going to implement coaching sessions for job search and job interview preparation, which will allow access to the labor market for the women we work with on a daily basis. In addition, all of them will have a personalized action plan for professional guidance and accompaniment in the labor market.
On a weekly basis, we also continue to respond to all the people with any kind of needs, and more specifically housing needs, who come to our Social Center located in the Church of San Antón in Madrid.
The team of Mensajeros de la Paz thanks you for your continuous support! Your generosity drives our mission forward.

Lets make a difference in women lives!
By Carolina Garcia | Volunteer

The Opportunitie´s Homes project consists of 5 homes for people at risk of social and residential exclusion. Our goal is that users have their basic needs covered (housing and supplies, food, hygiene, medication, transportation) while a socio-educational intervention is carried out to enhance their strengths and support less developed aspects. The ultimate goal is to obtain a job that allows income autonomy to be able to live in shared rental housing. Some 20% of the users are in the last step in which the professionals work with them on a savings plan to be able to achieve this shared rental.
During 2023, the group of people at risk of social and residential exclusion that we usually serve has been joined by people who, even if they have a job (full or part-time), are unable to find shared rental housing, due to the high inflation rate in Spain. This last group is mostly composed of single-mother families. Our homes are at 100% of their capacity, and even the emergency places have been activated due to the current social situation in which we are immersed.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to make a difference in the lives of these women!

Delicious Christmas dinner!
By Carolina Garcia | Volunteer

Dear friends,
Our opportunity homes, including the women's home, have had a very participative end of the year with several activities during December. We would like to hightlight a solidarity dinner that was organized together with a collaborating company to put the finishing touch to all these events and bid farewell to the year.
The women living in our home enjoyed a very exciting evening. After a few words of welcome and some speeches, they shared, along with other residents and volunteers, a concert of Christmas carols and a delicious dinner. The dinner included first and second courses, dessert and an assortment of Christmas sweets. At dessert, gifts were distributed among the attendees.
Thank you for making this all possible!
