Cooperation with R3SPIRA continues!

The mayor of Pollenca has honored us. Along with the city’s two social workers. They wanted to thank for the good and successful cooperation since June 2021. And we were pleased to be able to promise that we will continue the cooperation.

How exactly did it come about?

It all started when Arnd, the founder of PREDATOR SL and director of Fundació Predator, wanted to offer targeted help in the face of the increasing need of many people due to the Corona pandemic. In cooperation with HOPE Mallorca, Predator SL took over the financial responsibility for the station in Pollenca.

In May 2021, Nico, the owner of the restaurant R3SPIRA, known beyond the borders of Pollenca, and Arnd met. And decided to work together directly in the future.

The city hall helps unbureaucratically with

The two quickly made an appointment with city hall. And together with the city’s social workers and with the support of the mayor, they developed a non-bureaucratic way to ensure that all of Pollenca’s needy families could benefit from the assistance offered. This really worked fantastically and is a very positive example of a successful public-private partnership!

Since then, Nico and his team have been cooking a menu once a week that he has devised. Three aisles picked up by eligible families in reusable containers. To be able to eat them at home. Predator SL (since January 2022 the Fundació Predator) pays for the food. And proportionally still the gas consumption, which is a serious cost factor in the catering industry. Nico sacrifices his day off every week, shops, cooks and on Tuesday mornings the food is served by his wife, often assisted by their lovely daughter Nicola.

 

Corona made the situation more dramatic

When the crisis was at its peak, we were giving food to 200 families every week. So that was almost 600 meals. In the summer the number went down to 100-150 families. Now we have arrived at the amazingly low number of 15 families. With the Corona situation worsening again, this low number will probably not last long; unfortunately, we expect the number to at least be in triple digits again in January.

 

Hurray for volunteerism!

At this point, many thanks to Nico and family for the many sacrificed free time and the great heart and soul with which he devises and cooks and distributes a new menu every week! And to the Town Hall of Pollenca with its dedicated social workers, who make it incredibly easy for us to get the help to the right place.

Looks good, doesn’t it?

What do we do differently?

We would like to "extend help". Therefore, we primarily address voluntary, mostly smaller organizations that provide assistance on the ground. And which we can support with our resources.

We place particular emphasis on the efficiency of the aid measures and their sustainability. We want to ensure our donors that your help will be received in full. And not used for administrative tasks or salaries. We understand that large organizations cannot fulfill all activities on a voluntary basis, but we have set ourselves the goal of being able to ensure the highest possible efficiency of the capital invested. In the same way, it is important for us to be a strong project partner. And work very closely with the organizations we support. Also so that we have complete transparency about the use of funds.

Our mission

Inequality in the world is increasing more and more. At the same time, there are many dedicated small organizations that are tackling things in their neighborhoods or on a larger scale. And help. We would like to support them so that they can help even better.

Our vision

We believe that everyone in society should do their part to make our world a better place. Each, according to his possibilities. We can offer organizations resources they need to support the fantastic work they've mostly been doing on the ground for a long time.

Help us with your donation,

together we do even more good!

That's a promise: Not one cent of your donation will be spent on bureaucracy. Neither with us. Still in our projects! If you are thinking about making a larger donation, we are happy to set up sponsorships for projects. Both for companies and for private individuals. Your donations to Fundació Predator are donations to a non-profit corporation and are effective for tax purposes in both Germany and Spain.
