Commitment to the local community

Aguas de Torremolinos' contribution to the community is based on the following main areas of action: universal access to water, dialogue, education, raising awareness of sustainable water use and investment in social initiatives.

A total of €142,907 in financial aid to the local community. Aguas de Torremolinos carried out over 17 relevant actions in 2018 that demonstrate its involvement in the municipality of Torremolinos.

The social benefits that are generated are not limited to drinking water distribution and sewers. In addition, Aguas de Torremolinos makes the utmost effort to transmit to society its values in the areas of environmental protection and water resources, through education, dissemination and awareness-raising actions for children or activities developed for World Water Day.

Aguas de Torremolinos support schemes

In its commitment to ensure that the most vulnerable social groups have access to water, Aguas de Torremolinos, along with the Town Council, has established assistance for groups at risk of social exclusion who cannot pay their water bills. This led to the Torremolinos support scheme, which is assigned 20,000 euros per year to meet water and refuse bills in cases in which the Social Welfare Office identifies a risk of social exclusion.

Vehicle adapted for people with disabilities

Aguas de Torremolinos has officially ceded to the Town Council's Social Welfare Office the first vehicle adapted for people with disabilities. Among other applications, the vehicle will be used to provide support services, including transporting people to day centres, sports activities and actions in the CaPAZ project, which include the dog-assisted therapy that is carried out in the Palma de Mallorca secondary education school and aquatic therapy in the Virgen del Carmen II Municipal Pool.

CaPAZ Project

Around 40 students with reduced mobility, intellectual disability or autism in special classrooms of six early childhood, primary and secondary schools in Torremolinos, and another three schools in Arroyo de la Miel and Málaga, receive, as a complementary, additional treatment to the teaching work that is carried out with these groups, canine-assisted therapy to encourage learning and promote integrated skills development for special needs students.

Collaboration agreement with AVOI

The AVOI Foundation is a non-profit organisation whose purpose is to help hospitalised children through a series of leisure and recreational activities to make hospital stays more bearable for them and their families. To achieve this, the foundation organises workshops and parties; creates magazines for children; shows films; holds drawing competitions; organises handicrafts and other activities so that there is 'no child without a smile' and to make the children's stay in the Hospital Materno Infantil de Málaga as pleasant as possible.
