Fundació Deixalles

runs a household waste management and recycling programme at seven sites across the island with the objective of providing work opportunities to people at risk of social exclusion who would otherwise have no means of escaping the poverty trap.
In other words it helps vulnerable people with low employability by teaching them personal and work life skills such as timekeeping, teamwork and social responsibility. They develop practical skills in workshops, where they learn to repair and recycle furniture, textiles, toys and domestic appliances. The Deixalles trainees not only earn a salary but are gifted a sense of purpose and direction.
