Social Entity Award 2019

Asociación Síndrome de Down de Málaga

The Asociación Síndrome de Down de Málaga began in 1992 by a group of mothers and fathers of people with Down Syndrome, aiming to improve quality of life. Their work is focused towards the development of a more independent life. As such, this entity currently has projects defending the rights of people with Down Syndrome, promoting their development and full inclusion within a social and working environment.

Fundación HARENA

With the objective of building a fairer, more committed society, the Fundación HARENA was born in 2007. Work is focused on helping the most vulnerable people in our province and the poorest countries around the world, enhancing solidarity and boosting the act of volunteering. At present, the ‘Soledad 0 – Vida 10’ home support project is underway, in residential homes and hospitals; as well as access to water and better nutrition in the municipality of Kaso Abbo in Ethiopia.

Asociación Altamar, Educación y Familia

The Asociación ALTAMAR, Educación y Familia has been working for nearly 15 years on improving social inclusion in the neighbourhoods of Trinidad and El Perchel, via integral education. The association provides school support and good behaviour patterns for boys and girls at risk of social exclusion. This entity also assists families affected by socio-economic problems, illiteracy or drug addiction, via basic needs (food, hygiene, clothing, school materials, glasses, etc.) 

 

Abdallah Ben Barek Award

Málaga Alevín 18/19

As well as their season taking part in regular competition, Málaga CF’s Alevín team of 18/19 was the champion of sporting values. During a football match, the Malaguista players, aged between 10 and 12, showed their disapproval of an incident that occurred among fans, turning their backs on the supporters and demonstrating, despite their young age, a true example of sportsmanship. This team recently received the Jarque/Puerta award, given by Diario Marca, for rebuffing the violence. For spurning violence in grassroots football and the example shown by them, the Abdallah Ben Barek Award goes to this team and all the players.

Pepe Cobos

Pepe Cobos is the founder of Bodega El Pimpi, born in 1971 and which over time has become the most traditional bodega in Málaga. It is now an institution in the city.
