3 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Earth at our Annual Meeting with the help of Jesuit Fernando López and Brazilian indigenous leader Arizete Miranda; through the Vuelta al Cole (Back to School) campaign with a visit by Salvadoran children who are Guardianes Ambientales (Environmental Stewards) ; through the Si cuidas el planeta, combates la pobreza (If you care for the planet, fight poverty), initiative initiative with REDES, the network of all Spanish Catholic NGOs; and on trips to Ethiopia and Madagascar with journalists Nicolás Castellano and Sergi Cámara. Dear friends, We are back for yet another year with our annual report, the most significant results of accountability process over the past year. This year has been one in which we ve felt, more than ever before, that the Earth is our best school so much so that it is the title we ve given to this report, which we invite you to read. We have strived to pay homage to environmental protection and how it relates to the promotion of human rights and access to education over this past year. In his recent encyclical Laudato si, Pope Francis reminded us that environmental protection, justice for the most vulnerable, and engagement with society are actually different aspects of the same commitment. These issues serve as the departure point of many of the projects we develop in an aim to generate an educational model that promotes the teaching of values and communication for development in both our cooperation initiatives in the field and in our work in the service of critical citizenship. To that end, we aimed to raise awareness about many of these initiatives in 2016 but, above all, to deepen and continue to learn from the Earth as well as the networks, coalitions and traveling companions with whom we work and who have extensive experience in the service of environmental protection. We learned from the It is vitally important to recognize that it is not only conflicts or poverty that result in human mobility; the consequences of climate change that cause droughts, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes increasingly lead to millions of families being forced to find another place to live. In 2016, the total number of refugees reached a record 65 million. The #YoSoyTierraDeAcogida, (I Am Land of Refuge) campaign, which we promote together with the Jesuit Social Apostolate, was another opportunity for us to do our part with the help of an Earth that welcomes and support all. An intense year in which we continue to work together with the most disadvantaged populations in South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central America, Lebanon, Venezuela, Paraguay... in 41 countries and through 168 cooperation and humanitarian actions. A year in which we celebrated the 25th anniversary of VOLPA, our international volunteer program; in which over 11,000 people visited our Somos Migrantes (We are Migrants) exhibition at CaixaForum Madrid and 300 young people and educators from across Spain came together at the V Global Meeting of the Youth Solidarity Network under the motto A World in Your Hands. A multitude of spaces and initiatives in search of personal and collective models that create the balanced, fair and sustainable world of which we dream. We are aware that all this progress has been made possible thanks to the trust that people like you place in. Thank you, because your support inspires us and gives us the strength to continue defending the possibilities of an education in service of justice. Daniel Villanueva SJ General Director of 1

6 ABOUT US is a Jesuit-sponsored development NGO that encourages equal access to education as a tool for driving forward social change. Poverty, inequality and environmental degradation are global challenges and, therefore, require a global citizenship that is aware of, committed to, and prepared to handle these issues. For, that citizenship is rooted in the opportunity to access quality education. And that is our purpose, to defend the right to a quality education for all. How do we do it? Through cooperation projects, educational initiatives, awareness-raising and advocacy actions, volunteer programs, communication campaigns and, above all, by working together with other social organizations, companies, educational centers, counterparts and multiple strategic allies with whom we share a common purpose to weave networks for change. also has 28 delegations in Spain and a social base almost 18,000 members strong who give us the body and legitimacy we need to continue working every day for justice and global development.

13 TRANSPARENCY in our MISSION is clearly committed to transparency because we understand that it is the foundation of the trust that all the people and institutions who collaborate with our mission place is us. In this section we detail the source and use of our funds, because we want you to know how we have dedicated your donations.

14 SOURCE OF FUNDS received a total of 15,105,812 in The volume of funding generated in 2016 exceeded the annual budget, which provided for a total income of 14,521,691. In terms of our sources of funding, public funds granted by the State Administration increased over the past year, while funding provided by regional public agencies and local organizations has decreased. This decrease in funding is due to circumstantial situations in the public allocations of subsidies for development cooperation and awareness-raising projects. Private funding has increased by almost 0.7 million, due to an increase in member donations, private donations and companies that decided to join our mission, particularly in times of greatest need, such as the earthquake emergency in Ecuador and Hurricane Matthew in Haiti.

21 WORKING for social CHANGE We are well aware that changing development structures and patterns is a massive undertaking, though not an impossible one. We need to identify people in every area of society (political leaders, companies, teachers, media and citizens in general) who believe in justice and put in place mechanisms of interconnection and solidarity for global change.

22 EDUCATION FOR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP ADVOCACY AND MOBILIZATION A total of 287 people (including students, teachers and volunteers) participated in the V Global Meeting of the Youth Solidarity Network from February 12 to 14 as part of our A World in Your Hands, educational campaign. This event is celebrated every two years and offers a global citizenship experience that gives our youngest participants the opportunity to dream of a better world and encourage them to take action. We also launched three educational proposals as part of this campaign, two of which are designed for adolescents: A World of Alternatives and A World of Decisions. The third can be incorporated into classrooms and is designed for any age group: A World in Your Hands. The objective is to give children and young people tools for discussing their role in building a more just, supportive and sustainable world. Understanding education as a tool for change and development is something we share with the organizations that have made the Movement for Transformative Education and Global Citizenship a reality (InteRed,, Oxfam Intermón and Alboan). The purpose of this network is to pool knowledge and experience in order to develop innovative and transformative educational practices which, together with students and educators, lead to a more just, equitable and diverse world in which everyone has the opportunity of free, successful development. Visit January kicked off with the launch of the Hospitalidad.es campaign, created by the Social Apostolate of the Society of Jesus in Spain in response to the exponential increase of people arriving on European coasts as they flee from the conflict in Syria or the endless crisis in Central Africa. A response to a reality that challenges us and forces us to reflect on our capacity for acceptance, empathy and cooperation with the causes behind so much pain, inequality and injustice. Two months later, in March, we were surprised to learn that the European Union was planning to sign an agreement with Turkey to pave the way for the closing of borders and the mass expulsion of migrants. Although we were able to collect 33,218 signatures in a record 72 hours to say #NOalPactoUETurquía (No to the Pact with Turkey), the initiative was passed in a moment of shame for the so-called Europe of values. The months ticked by in the absence of measures, prompting us to launch a new initiative as part of the Hospitalidad campaign in time for World Refugee Day on June 20: the signing of the #YoSoyTierraDeAcogida (I Am Land Of Refuge), the initiative was passed in a moment of shame for the so-called Europe of values. In addition to all our efforts in defense of the rights of refugees and displaced persons, we also participate in the Global Action Week for Education (GAW) every year, an initiative that seeks to promote children s participation in and discussion of the issues that affect society. This year, GAW focused specifically on the funding of education, reminding political representatives of their duty to allocate between 4% and 6% of GDP to education. To that end, 20

23 in addition to working on teaching materials during the months leading up to the event, thousands of students and teachers from all over Spain participated in various public events from April 25 to 30, carrying an umbrella as a symbol of protection for education. And, according to The Earth is our Best School report that we launched in September, there are 263 million children out of school globally, and the international community still needs to invest almost 40 billion dollars to guarantee universal access to education if it wants to meet Sustainable Development Objective #4. This was the idea behind our 2016 Back to School campaign, which also raised awareness about the consequences that environmental protection has on the fulfillment of the right to education and on education s potential as a generator of sustainable development. Driven by a concern for the future of the planet, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon organized the first World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul. In Ki-moon s opening statements, he emphasized that we need to restore trust in our global world order and in the capacities of our national and regional institutions to effectively confront the most pressing challenges that nations face today: brutal conflicts, violent extremism and terrorism, the widening gap between rich and poor, illiteracy and climate change The Education Cannot Wait fund was successfully launched at the summit; the fund aims to raise $3.85 billion to assist children affected by natural disasters and conflicts. The international director of the Jesuit Refugee Service, Thomas Smolich SJ, attend the summit in Istanbul and called the fund an important step forward in helping to ensure that the most vulnerable and marginalized have access to education. Inequality was once again the focus of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on October 17, an initiative that denounces the injustice of the 700 million people in the world who still live in extreme poverty. COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT Kristóf Hölvényi We appeared 3,300 times in the media in 2016, a figure that only continues to grow and reflect our commitment to raising awareness about realities and stories that are often forgotten or silenced. In response to the threat of famine and drought that began to emerge in the Horn of Africa, we travelled to Ethiopia together with photographer Sergi Cámara and Nicolás Castellano, a journalist for Cadena Ser, to document the harshness of a dry land that was forcing millions of people to move or find refuge in order to survive. We visited Dollo Ado, the second largest refugee camp in the world, where our colleagues from the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) serve 200,000+ people from across neighboring Somalia. We then visited Addis Ababa, Ethiopia s capital, where we documented the lesser known story of refugees who silently subsist in extremely precarious conditions. Another example of how climate change is increasingly jeopardizing children s right to education is Madagascar, a country where an estimated 1.4 million people are at risk of food insecurity. Together with poverty, this circumstance results in scores of children feeling too ill or tired to make it to school. We also visited the country in 2016 to get a firsthand look at the work of Fe y Alegría. Wars, along with environment-related issues, are another main cause of forced displacement. Syria entered into its fifth year of conflict in 2016; many families have been forced to leave the country and take refuge in neighboring Lebanon. Children, forced to leave their 21

24 Kristóf Hölvényi/JRS MENA homes and schools behind, suffer most from not understanding what is happening and suddenly finding themselves without opportunities for the future. This is why JRS works tirelessly to keep this from happening and to ensure that displaced children have access to quality education. Europa Press traveled to the Middle East to learn more about this educational integration and intercultural coexistence initiative that advocates for the fundamental rights of refugees. The arrival of our We are Migrants (Somos Migrantes) photographic exhibition at the CaixaForum Madrid was another 2016 milestones in terms of raising awareness about the reality of displaced persons and refugees. After touring 23 cities across Spain, the exhibition was open to the public for three months; we took advantage of the occasion to hold a seminar that aimed to encourage reflection on the causes of forced migration, on the places that welcome refugees, the media s narrative on migration and refugees and the role of education in building a culture of hospitality. And, together with our commitment to raising awareness about the organization s projects, we aim to highlight the stories of struggle, effort and improvement in even the most difficult contexts: Abou Bakr, Sophy Okeyo, and Baranaka are just some of the central protagonists of our Lives that Build Future, 100,000 opportunities and Remember South Sudan campaigns. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SOCIAL ECONOMY Over 12,000 people in 10 Spanish cities participated in our fifth Corre por una causa, corre por la educación ( Run for a cause, run for education ) solidarity race in The funds raised this year from both race registration fees and the donations and sponsorships of participating companies were donated towards improving the educational quality of 1,500 children in Chad by equipping 26 nursery schools and training their teachers. is in contact with about 200 companies with whom we establish partnerships and advance discussions about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In this sense, it has been new this year the collaboration with Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and Deliveroo, a company specialized in food delivery. Together, we launched a joint initiative called A Breakfast for Learning, that provided support for the construction of a bakery at the Saint Michel Archangel school in Desormeaux, a rural area in Haiti suffering from extreme malnutrition. Along these same lines, we signed a collaboration agreement with Alimerka Foundation, which committed to donating a total of 15,000 to in order to fund the educational center that and Fe y Alegría are building in the refugee camp in Tongogara, Zimbabwe, a school for 450 boys and girls who are in an extremely vulnerable situation. At the end of the year we renewed our commitment to the Educating People, Generating Opportunities, program, following 15 years of joint collaboration with Inditex that have already benefited more than one million people in 25 countries (all information at 22

25 This decision will allow the continuation and implementation of new educational projects, access to employment and humanitarian aid in Latin America, South Africa and Lebanon, with an estimated 165,500+ beneficiaries over three years. We have also continued to work hand in hand with Accenture in our Job Skills Training Program, a three-year initiative that will end in The conclusion of our Educational Quality Program was another 2016 milestone in this area. Together with Fundación Telefónica, since 2011 we have rolled out our program in 60 schools in Colombia, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and Peru. We decided to apply Fe y Alegría s Educational Quality Improvement System after detecting the poor quality of education in these countries vulnerable communities. We published the book 20 stories of transformation of Latin America schools to capture the scope of this initiative and share the lessons learned from this experience. Along those same lines, we continued our support of Socially Responsible Investment in 2016 thanks to our participation in FIARE, FIARE, a cooperative bank with more over 40,900 members and 1.29 million of savings between Spain and Italy. FIARE seeks social transformation and the promotion of a culture of financial intermediation under the principles of transparency, participation, democratic management and credit as a right. Likewise, participates together with other Spanish NGOs in Socially Responsible Investment Funds through leading financial institutions, giving private and institutional investors the opportunity to apply ethical criteria to their investments. Finally, we continue to promote responsible business practices through the Corporate Social Responsibility Observatory, a civil society platform with 14 participating organizations from the third sector that work to promote CSR in Spanish companies through advocacy, training and outreach. has served as a member of the Observatory s Board of Directors since It is directly involved in the concrete analysis of the CSR of the companies listed on the Ibex 35, content development for training courses, and participation in related forums and roundtables. TRAINING AND VOLUNTEERING We dedicated our 2016 Annual Meeting to environmental protection under our campaign slogan The Earth is our Best School and using the new Global Development Agenda, which gives greater priority the issue of sustainability in poverty and inequality, as a departure point. The Laudato si encyclical also invited us to listen to the cry of the Earth and impoverished people and to understand that environmental protection is intimately linked to the options available to these communities. The Annual Meeting brought together over 250 people and featured a presentation by Rafael Díaz-Salazar, Professor of Sociology and International Relations at the Complutense University in Madrid; a talk by Arizete Miranda and Fernando López, S.J., members of the Indian Missionary Council and founders of the Equipo Itinerante (Mobile Team) in the Amazon; and a round table moderated by journalist Nicolás Castellano with the participation of Miguel Ángel Soto, Pedro Piedras and Pilar Shakti. In addition to thanking everyone for attending the meeting, General Director Dani Villanueva SJ spoke about Luis Arancibia and all his work as Deputy Director and thanked Ramón Almansa for taking over as Executive Director. Next, ALBOAN Director María del Mar Magallón explained the joint process in which both organizations are immersed. Taking advantage of their visit to Spain, Fernando and Arizete took an intense tour of 18 delegations to offer talks on various subjects and give interviews with the media in order to raise citizen awareness about the fact that one jungle without the 23

26 other has no solution : a change in both Europe s mentality and economic model is crucial for protecting the Amazon. The Online School, a digital training space for dialogue, development and social change, was launched in November in order to bring these discussions to a wider audience and transform them into small training capsules, along with other more formal elearning proposals. The platform has a Moodle for tutored or nontutored courses (that is, they can be completed at any time of the year and at the pace that best suits the student) and a News section that offers educational news, opinion articles and video interviews ( Finally, it has been a great source of pride to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our VOLPA International Volunteer Program which has already involved over 800 participants in experiences with other communities and cultures in Latin America and Africa. 24

29 international cooperation DEVELOPMENT We focus our international cooperation efforts on promoting the development of the most disadvantaged communities, involving them in processes and making them the leaders of their own progress. We work to ensure access to quality education for all people, because we firmly believe that this is the true seed of change and the most direct path to the global justice to which we aspire.

30 OUR TRAVEL COMPANIONS Monteserín Fotografía/ The relationship we build with our local partners in the field is always based on forging a stable partnership among equals, based on absolute trust and mutual enrichment. We have a relationship with both Fe y Alegría and the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) since is a member of both networks. We also worked with 60 other local partners in The International Federation of Fe y Alegría is a Popular Education Movement with 1,614,755 participants working in 21 countries. It was founded in Caracas in 1955 through the efforts of Jesuit José Mª Vélaz to help about 100 children who had no school. Fe y Alegría promotes a quality and transformative education aimed at building a just, democratic and participative society. The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international organization working in 50 countries with the mission to accompany, serve and defend the rights of refugees and displaced people throughout the world. JRS assisted roughly a million people in OUR FOCUS IN LATIN AMERICA, AFRICA AND ASIA Sergi Cámara/ 28 We launched a total of 168 cooperation and humanitarian projects in 41 countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe in Most of these interventions were carried out by our strategic partners Fe y Alegría and the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), with whom we share a common goal of defending the right to quality education in particularly disadvantaged contexts. We have seen how inequality became a core issue in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2016, contributing, among other causes, to the increase of violence and resulting in situations of human mobility as a direct effect, particularly in (but not limited to) the northern triangle of Central America and Mexico. The gap between the population with the highest purchasing power and the impoverished population has grown. Beyond this economic inequality, the different access to rights between women and men, the different opportunity to participate in decision-making processes, and the unsustainable productive and extractive model of development, endanger the rights

31 of the most vulnerable people (the indigenous population, women, children and excluded population groups). Sergi Cámara/ Corruption and the eternal struggle for natural resources in Africa have continued to result in serious clashes between different armed groups in several countries. South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic are home to some of the bloodiest conflicts and have once again forced the civilian population to desperately flee their countries. This violence is combined with the effects of climate change particularly drought which has led to the forced exodus of millions of people. In the midst of these contexts, is a hopeful agent of change in support of the work that our local partners, mainly Fe y Alegría and JMS/JRS, develop in 19 countries in Latin America, 17 in Africa and three in Asia. The main lines of action that we have continued to promote across the three continents in 2016 include: the promotion of peace and gender equality among young people, the special protection and defense of the rights of girls and women against any kind violence, quality of education, job training and mutual reinforcement of the shared work with our partners. Evaluative culture has also been one of the core characteristics of our work throughout the year, materializing in actions such as the evaluation of our Educational Quality Program, financed by AECID. On the other hand, the celebration of the I Fe y Alegría Africa International Congress in Chad was a historic moment for the Federation and for our work in support of an educational movement with a growing presence in the vulnerable regions of the African continent. HUMANITARIAN AID An earthquake shook northwestern Ecuador. on April 16, The 7.8 quake claimed the lives of over 650 people and left almost 30,000 Ecuadorians without a home. The Society of Jesus immediately mobilized in order to evaluate the extent of the damage and draw up a coordinated local response among all Jesuit institutions in the region., which has supported the work of the Jesuits in Ecuador for decades, sent funds to support the response plan, which mainly focused on providing first aid, psycho-social services for 24, Fe y Alegría Peru

32 people, commitment to education in emergency settings (rehabilitation of 21 schools and provision of temporary schools), and rebuilding homes (11 homes). In October, when it seemed like everything was returning to normal in Haiti after the devastating earthquake of 2010, Hurricane Matthew swept the southwestern coast of the country and part of the Dominican Republic and Cuba. The catastrophe affected 2.1 million people and over 800 lost their lives. In coordination with other Society of Jesus organizations in the country (Fe y Alegría, Jesuit Migrant Service (Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes) and the Provincial Delegate from Canada), we supported a first phase of emergency kit distribution and reopening schools (rebuilding, equipment, food and class standardization) and then a second phase that focused on rehabilitation and the prompt recovery of livelihoods (agriculture and livestock) and housing construction (36 families recovered their homes). Our colleagues at the Jesuit Refugee Service in the Middle East also deserve special mention; they remained firm in their efforts to help and defend the civilian population despite the escalation of violence in Syria in 2016 (the fifth year of the conflict). PROGRAMS LIGHT FOR GIRLS FUND Gemma López/ The Light for Girls fund was created in 2012 to support projects designed to improve the living conditions and development of girls and young women living in situations of extreme vulnerability. New projects in new countries have been launched every year; these projects always prioritize young girls and work along three strategic lines: access to education, prevention of violence, and providing support and rescue of girls and adolescents in violent situations, particularly sexual violence. Anna Roig/ 30 The fund operated in seven countries in 2016: Nicaragua, Haiti, Chad, Angola, South Sudan, Central African Republic and D. R. Congo. Upwards of 5,000 girls were able to improve their day-to-day lives in a less aggressive and more familyfriendly learning environment. Participants learned about their rights and the mechanisms in place to protect them. Through specialized psychological support, educational continuity and the development and promotion of values, these girls are able to strengthen their resilience, increase their ability to overcome the traumatic situations they have experienced, and face new challenges. Parents and teachers also participated in training processes that promote providing support to girls based on respect

33 and protection. Massive challenges still remain, but concrete progress is motivating us and our partners in our work. Next year we will continue our work in Nicaragua, Haiti, Chad, South Sudan and Central African Republic, and we will continue to make girls dreams come true with the launch of new programs in Cameroon, D. R. Congo, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, Honduras and Bolivia. Elisa García/ Monteserín Fotografía/ TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION AGREEMENT (AECID) Processes have been strengthened over this second year of the agreement in order to help participating centers in Nicaragua, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Peru, Colombia and Bolivia develop an education that promotes peace and equity. With funding from the AECID, and in partnership with ALBOAN, the Fe y Alegría s federations in these seven countries have started training the educational community on issues of gender equality. Work with young people has some positive initial results, with almost 9,000 young people implementing citizenship actions linked to processes that promote a culture of peace. At the regional level, teachers from the countries involved have participated in laying the foundations for developing a proposal for a transformative education in contexts of violence and gender discrimination. JOB SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAM (ACCENTURE) Our three-year Job Skills Training Program that we launched with Accenture in June 2015 continued in We focused our efforts on offering training in transversal job skills for over 21,000 students during the program s first year. We also started training in specific skills and activities designed to facilitate the students job placement The overall objective for the end of the program, in 2018, was to provide training for 80,000 young people, with 57,000 receiving specific qualifications for those sectors with the greatest demand in their countries and 41,000 entering the labor market. The program was funded by $3.8 million from Accenture and is being implemented in 21 countries together with Fe y Alegría in Latin America and Africa, Pedro Arrupe High School in Mexico, Radio ECCA in Spain and the Jesuit Refugee Service in Uganda and South Africa.

34 QUALITY EDUCATION PROGRAM (TELEFÓNICA) Monteserín Fotografía/ After over four years of ongoing efforts, in 2016 we concluded our joint program with the Telefónica Foundation to improve educational quality in 60 Fe y Alegría schools in six Latin American countries. To that end, we implemented improvement plans involving school directors and teachers, students, their families and local communities. The first two phases of the program focused on evaluation and reflection, while the third phase featured the implementation of the improvement plans and providing follow-up and support to the centers. The program was completed with an evaluation, which evidenced that the vast majority of schools achieved a higher than expected system application, and now have a road map to continue along the path of improving educational quality. EDUCATING PEOPLE, GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM (INDITEX) Monteserín Fotografía/ The three-year Educating People, Generating Opportunities (EPGO) program benefited over 62,500 people in nine Latin American countries in Through vocational and job training, young people and adults living in poverty have received professional training, while our efforts with vulnerable populations groups have focused on offering future opportunities to indigenous people, persons with disabilities, young people at risk of exclusion, and migrants and refugees Pablo Funes/ 32 We provided education in refugee camps and training and socio-labor integration for urban refugees in four African countries, benefiting over 16,900 people in We renewed this collaboration agreement with Inditex at the end of the year, signing another three-year agreement for The 22 projects included in the II Educating People, Generating Opportunities Program will focus on education, employment and humanitarian aid in nine Latin American countries, South Africa and Lebanon, and directly benefit over 165,500 people.

35 AT THE COLOMBIAN BORDERS PROGRAM (INDITEX) The At the Colombian Borders program implemented in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela aims to offer opportunities and assistance to the refugees and people displaced by the Colombian armed conflict. SJR Together with the Jesuit Refugee Service and the support of Inditex, the program focuses on three main areas: livelihoods, formal education and the protection and guarantee of access to rights. Over 4,700 people directly benefited from the program in We have improved the social integration and job placement for these refugees and displaced people over the course of the program, as well as offered legal assistance to help this population to access their rights while ensuring an access to education, education continuity and certification for displaced children and adolescents.
