For the past fifteen years, the Rafa Nadal Foundation has worked with a clear purpose: to create real opportunities for personal and social development for children, adolescents, and young people in vulnerable situations.
Each school year, we renew our commitment, expanding horizons and strengthening the comprehensive support we offer through our projects.
The 2024–2025 school year is no exception: we’ve supported a total of 1,429 direct beneficiaries through our four main programmes. This impact goes beyond numbers—each figure represents a story of resilience, growth, emotional well-being, and access to opportunities that may otherwise have been out of reach.
In our Rafa Nadal Foundation Centres in Palma, Valencia and Madrid, we have served 791 individuals this year, including 508 children and adolescents, and 283 adults (mainly family members).
By location: Palma supported 330 individuals (235 minors + 95 adults), Valencia 241 (132 minors + 109 adults), and Madrid 220 (141 minors + 79 adults). This work has been made possible thanks to a team of 24 dedicated professionals.
Additionally, we estimate over 1,185 indirect beneficiaries, including family members and caregivers. Over the 10 years of this project, more than 3,760 children and adolescents have benefited from our centres.
