BBVA will donate four million euros to Red Cross Spanish to help affected by the DANA. This donation will be intended, initially, to respond to the most immediate needs and, subsequently, to contribute to the recovery of the thousands of people who have been affected.
The funds from BBVA’s donation will go to assist in the rescue and care of affected people by DANA, as well as in tasks of recovery of homes. These actions are carried out through the Immediate Emergency Response Teams (ERIE) that the Spanish Red Cross has in its territorial delegations, mainly in Valencia and Albacete.
Subsequently, the Spanish Red Cross will work on the relocation of people and will address the needs that arise after this initial phase of the emergency, such as economic and social help to rebuild their homes, psychological support for families and care for school-age children through educational material, extracurricular support or leisure activities so that overcome the trauma and the consequences.
This donation is part of the urgent aid plan that BBVA launched last week for those affected by the severe floods. Thus, last Thursday a donation campaign began through Bizum, with the collaboration of the Spanish Red Cross. Those interested in contributing to this cause have to access Bizum (if they are in Spain), click on ‘Donate to a charitable cause’, enter the code 33467 and the amount they wish to contribute. Donations can also be made by deposit or ordinary transfer to the Spanish Red Cross account: ES92 0182 2370 4600 1002 2227.
To date this campaign has raised more than three million euros. These funds will also be used to rescue and manage temporary shelters and help those affected recover normality.
