They gave us the little push we needed ”says Toñi.Over the last few months we have worked together to bring this moment. "We thank Proyecto Abraham for the opportunity to collaborate in this exciting and noble initiative." Joaquín Cárceles, manager of the Real Estate Agency tells us.“Our Obra Social is the reflection of our work philosophy under the motto" From person to person ", from the heart and from the heart *.This new project is being developed by Cambio Circular, the job placement company that Proyecto Abraham created in 2019, whose main objective is to generate employment for people at risk of social exclusion.The Circular Change workers are in charge of classifying the donated garments in the Abraham Project containers.“As its name suggests, in this company we promote the circular economy, adding value to garments that are no longer in use by their owners, giving them a new life.Curiously, we give a new life to clothes and at the same time to the people who have the opportunity to work with us.
" says Virginia Lorca, head of Circular Change. In Spain 326,000 tons of clothes and shoes are thrown away every year according to a report published by ASIRTEX.Proyecto Abraham and Cambio Circular managed 2,400 tons of clothing, footwear and toys in the Region of Murcia alone and in the last year.Once classified in the Circular Change warehouse, these garments have different destinations: the Regional Wardrobe to which people derived from Social Services access and receive donated clothes; Atelier El Costurerico, a social clothing workshop of Proyecto Abraham where they recover fabrics or part of the garments reusing them.Finally, another part goes to the stores (physical, and now online) of Proyecto Abraham. Through their sale they generate employment, enhance the circular economy and in turn create part of the social projects developed by the Association.With each purchase that someone makes on this website, as in physical stores, they collaborate with the maintenance of insertion jobs, since the income obtained is used for this purpose, in addition to promoting responsible consumption and collaborating with The sustainability."My life has changed (circular) thanks to this job." Aroa, one of the Circular Change workers, says laughing. “Here they enhance the real family conciliation, something that I had not experienced before.Now I can work to support my family and at the same time enjoy my daughters. I am a single mother and I had previously worked in the hospitality industry, and I felt that I had to choose between working or watching my daughters grow up.
" Aroa, a personal insertion worker, tells us.Proyecto Abraham is a non-profit Murcian NGO with more than 20 years of experience, whose mission is to help those most vulnerable people, who are in a situation or risk of social exclusion, whether economic, educational or cultural, to achieve their full inclusion, thus contributing to a more just, supportive and sustainable society.For this they develop employment and training projects, offer reception resources and care for basic needs and generate social economy through the workshops of El Costurerico, the stores in Murcia and Caravaca, and now with www.yocolaboro.proyectoabraham.org
