The programme
Since September 2005, BBVA and its currently working employees have been collaborating on educational projects in Latin America. Each

Situation as of 31 December, 2008
Participating employees: 4,528
Employee contributions: 56,284
Total collected (joint employee and BBVA contribution): 112,568
Collaborating entity: Fundación Entreculturas - Fe y Alegría
Projects on which the collected funds are being spent
Refurbishment, construction and equipping of the Madre Siffredi school, in the neighbourhood of El Vallado, Commune 15 of Aguablanca in
Cali (Colombia).
From the time that collaboration with this project began in October 2006 until the end of December 2008, a total of €199,432 has been
given over to this project.
Funds are currently being applied to the construction of school infrastructures in underprivileged neighbourhoods in Valparaiso and Santiago
de Chile.
Por los que se quedan: Integration scholarship godfathers and godmothers in Mexico
These are branch executives who take part as volunteers in the Por los que se quedan scholarship programme – aimed at
providing support for secondary school youth who have shown excellent academic performance, and whose families
have emigrated.
The personalised godfather/godmother relation provides added value to the student’s educational development, as it
provides incentive and motivation in his/her overall development.
