Welcome to También Foundation website, from which you will get information about who we are, to whom we address to, what we do, which activities we carry out and how to cooperate with us.

The También Foundation is a non-profit-making organization whose end result is the social integration of people with any physical, mental, intellectual and/or sensory disability, by means of tailoring sport to disabled people needs, using it like a social integration tool.  A tool that provides a great deal of enjoyment and many important, physical and mental benefits.

 

This pioneering project for tailoring sport to disabled people needs, was born in 2001, when Teresa Silva (founder and managing director of También Foundation), had an accident going paragliding and as consequence, she had to drive a wheel chair for moving. It was then when she knew the enormous difficulties that disabled people find to fill up their spare time, in a normalized way.

To all people with any physical, mental, intellectual and/or sensory disability, in order to :

• Foster social inclusion
• Strengthen personal development and self-esteem
• Boost fighting spirit and team work
• Stimulate self-discipline
• Provide with physical and mental benefit
• Create a feeling of freedom
• Improve quality of life

• We design courses, activity programs and sporting events.
• We provide with tailored material to meet any kind of disability needs.
• We advise and provide technical assistance to disabled people, to their families,  associations, institutions or organisms.
• We subsidize all sporting programs of También Foundation.
• We train volunteers and professional specialists.
• We spread and promote tailored sports to disabled people needs.
