Childcare Centers Affected by DANA in Valencia

Hi, I’m Nerea, a Spanish Early Childhood teacher based in New Zealand and the founder of Manawa Education.

Following recent events in my homeland, I feel called to support to several ECE centers in Valencia that have been impacted by the Dana storm and subsequent flooding.

The recent devastation caused by the storm has left a deep mark on numerous towns, impacting ECE centres such as Xipixo, in Catarroja or E.I. Angelets, in Aldaia. These spaces, so vital to many families, have been seriously damaged, with affected facilities and essential resources destroyed.

To bring you closer to their reality, we are sharing some images of the state in which the centers were found upon arrival. We know these are challenging times for the region, but we believe that, united, we can help rebuild these communities (at least on a physical and human level).

Every donation, no matter how small, becomes a message of unity and support that transcends borders. With our solidarity, we can make it possible for these centers to once again become welcoming and educational spaces for children and families.

We are deeply grateful for each contribution!
