Quiénes Somos
AESCO (America, Spain, Solidarity and Cooperation) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1991 with the purpose of contributing to the construction of a fairer, more inclusive, and more supportive society. Since our beginnings, we have worked alongside migrants and their families, promoting equal opportunities and respect for human rights, while strengthening social, cultural, and cooperation ties between Europe and Latin America.
Our work is carried out through social projects in areas such as voluntary return, employment and entrepreneurship, rural repopulation, vocational training, women’s empowerment, and the prevention and support of gender-based violence, among other fields of action.
AESCO has been recognized as a public-benefit organization since 1999 and has offices in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, from which it provides direct support and collaborates with other organizations and institutions. The organization also holds the ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, demonstrating its commitment to responsible, transparent management focused on continuous improvement and social impact.
