Tantaka-Madrid is the Solidarity Time Bank of the University of Navarra in Madrid.
The motto of Tantaka University of Navarra is "Helping those who help".
We all have some time to make a difference. Our goal is to put the time of volunteers (students, alumni, professionals and friends) at the service of those most in need.
It is open to anyone who wishes to collaborate.
Partnerships
In Tantaka we put the time volunteers offer us at the disposal of social organizations working in Madrid.
Tantaka Madrid collaborates with the Tsuneni Association, to provide service to the Parish of Santa María La Blanca in the Canillejas neighborhood, close to the postgraduate headquarters.
Projects
Pulling on the thread of one need, other needs are discovered.
Within the same organisation, you can find projects that correspond to different areas of volunteering: school support, support for the elderly or disabled, training courses for adults, etc.
Take a look at our projects and choose where you want to contribute your time.
Direct Aid to Families in Madrid (ADN)
This volunteering consists of sponsoring a family, with the commitment to bring them a box of food once a month and take advantage of that time to learn more about their situation, so that if the volunteers want they can accompany them on more occasions, if they see that it is an elderly person and is alone or there are young children and they could use a school reinforcement.
Food collection
Twice a year a food bank collection will be made to supply the Canillejas soup kitchen. The collection will be made at the headquarters, the second week of November and the third week of May. With a start and end date.
Accompanying the elderly
Walks, conversation, board games and educational workshops.
Social Canteen
Help prepare food to be distributed to vulnerable people in the neighborhoods of Canillejas (near the campus).
Solidarity Christmas Tree
At Christmas we strip a tree of its balls to fill it with gifts that will go to the neediest families in the neighborhood.
School support
Accompanies and helps in the study of children and young people in the neighborhood of Canillejas. The activity takes place next to the Church of Santa Maria la Blanca.
One-off campaigns
If you can't commit yourself to collaborate regularly with an association, we suggest that you help us with the various campaigns or sporting events that we organise throughout the year.
