In Las Tunas NGO we develop freer people, who deploy their talents and abilities to be responsible citizens and active individuals in all areas of their lives.
We do it through non-formal high quality educational programs.
Our values
- We trust the abilities that inhabit each person.
- We believe that what is missing are possibilities to develop them.
- We know that people who live in poverty for a long time are conditioned by this situation, but not determined by it.
- We promote originality. Each person has something of their own that, when put in contact with the possibility of development and more opportunities, unfolds and allows them to be the subject of their own life.
- We are committed to the development of freedom, as a value, and individual responsibility. We trust the entrepreneurial capacity, the desire of each person to progress and to develop their free initiative.
- We believe that tolerance and respect and the will to coexist with others are central to life in society.
- We recognize and rejoice in the beauty of differences. We are all “equal before the law” and equal in dignity. But this equality is discovered by recognizing the differences between us, an experience that fills human coexistence with light.
- We support voluntary solidarity. We are not isolated beings, we are bound to each other. We have a common destiny.
- We think that a society with a place for everyone is possible and we promote it with our work.
