Our DNA
What makes us
Family as school of competencies and abilities
Proactivity as the way for development
Respect and equality as conditions to serve
Our mission is contributing to the development of individuals, facilitating an opportunity for change to each and every single beneficiary. We promote justice and social welfare, solidarity and family-based values. All of our projects place individuals at the core of our activity; their training, education and earning capacity, enabling them to leave the poverty trap behind them. In order to do this, we carry out development cooperation projects at an international level, social action and family counselling interventions in Europe and awareness-raising, volunteering Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship activities in Spain.
FABRE prioritises education and culture as an essential tool for the progress of peoples. Therefore, our methodology is born from the dialogue between cultures and the fostering of respect between sides, preserving local values and therefore the identities that nurture cultural richness. Our goals are equality between women and men, solidarity and, outstandingly, to safeguard freedom as a needed condition for any kind of intercultural development. Only this way, the communities will be able to reach lasting self-support and defend their development.
Solidarity
FABRE’s work promotes solidarity between developed and non-developed peoples, based on the basis of peer-to-peer work and mutual exchange.
Proactivity
FABRE believes in proactivity as the way for development. In such a way, communities will be able to prevent up-coming problems using all resources to their disposal for the creation of a peaceful and sustainable society.
Justice and Freedom
FABRE seeks justice and the proportionate distribution of wealth, offering each person the opportunity to participate and develop as an individual and as part of the community. In the same way, healthy and sustainable development of individuals and societies must be based in the protection of citizens freedom and principles of non-distinction for reasons of sex, beliefs or race.
Respect
The human being is at the core of FABRE’s projects and activities. We work based on the capacity to act, the responsibility and creativity of every single individual. That is why we prioritize training and education over any other activity.
Quality work and Transparency
Prioritizing quality in our tasks and transparency. Work well done is a sign of respect towards the people in need and, therefore, a key value for FABRE. This quality is reflected by our transparency and commitment to the responsible allocation of funds received.
Family
Family is the most important school of competencies and abilities. Family counselling and support are essential to boost the multiplying effect that society needs in its growing, transformative and developing process. Family is the pilot test to match and create our core values
Ana María Bacardi Bravo was born May 24th of 1949 in Santiago de Cuba. After coursing the Baccalaureate in Canada, she undertakes her higher studies in Social Work and Family Assistance in Belgium, Rome and Spain. In 1969, due to the political circumstances of the country, she goes into exile along with all her family and settles in Spain, where she marries the Galician entrepreneur Juan Ángel Regojo Otero. They had five children. Throughout her life the memory of Cuba will always go with her, passing away without the fortune of coming back to her homeland. She committed her life to her family and friends, developing an insatiable service in favour of the institution of family, giving courses in family counselling to young people and married couples. She was a woman with great culture and outstanding writing skills, cheerful, sociable, charitable, profound, generous, sensitive and faithful to her friends. She died July 2nd of 1998 due to a fatal traffic accident. In her memory, honouring her example and legacy, her husband and children constituted FABRE Foundation, from the acronym Ana Bacardi de Regojo, wishing to sustain the trail of good that she instilled in the hearts of many.
