In 2025, the number of out-of-school children worldwide rose again, reaching 273 million. Through the La Silla Roja campaign, we presented the report “A Promise Is a Debt” and organized a tour of various cities calling for more investment in education, a demand we also brought to the 4th Conference on Financing for Development in Seville, alongside Fe y Alegría.

As part of the CME, we launched SAME 2025 —“Light Up Education, Turn Off the Emergency”—which mobilized more than 8,000 students and teachers in Spain. Through the 4.7 Movement —in partnership with Alboan, InteRed, and ONGAWA—we continue to promote Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship.

Among the multi-country programs we carry out to promote education, those developed in partnership with Inditex and Accenture have enabled more than 120,000 people in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Spain to gain access to opportunities for economic and social inclusion.

The total number of people forced to flee their homes stood at 117.8 million by the end of 2025. We are referring to situations such as those in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, and, above all, Gaza, where we are calling for a ceasefire and urgent access to humanitarian aid.

In partnership with JRS, we are assisting more than 120,000 refugees in Kenya with support from the European Union. In Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil, we continue to implement the “On the Borders of Latin America” program, through which we have assisted 6,058 people.

As part of our social action work in Spain, we carry out projects promoting intercultural coexistence and the social and labor market integration of migrants. Through the Escuela Refugio campaign, we focused on children and emphasized that “Education is their best defense”; the Caminos de Hospitalidad mobilized thousands of people; and we brought the risks of the European Migration and Asylum Plan to the attention of the authorities.

One year after the DANA storm, we continue to support the affected communities in Valencia, while also responding to the earthquake in Myanmar. At COP30 in Belém, we joined the Jesuits for Climate Justice Campaign in advocating for equitable financing, and young people from the Generation 21+ Network gave voice to hundreds of students from Fe y Alegría.

In Europe, we condemn the rollback of the EU’s Omnibus Package on corporate sustainability. In Latin America, we continue to support projects promoting sustainable livelihoods in Peru with NATRA and the “la Caixa” Foundation, and agroecological education in Ecuador through the “El Sade” Forest School project .

This year was marked by a particularly significant milestone for the La LUZ de las NIÑAS campaign: Young participants from Peru, Chad, Guatemala, South Sudan, and Spain traveled to Geneva to deliver 83,000 signatures to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, demanding an end to violence against girls.

On March 8, through the “Women on the Move” campaign, we drew attention to the situation of women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At Soy Acogida —together with Pueblos Unidos—we emphasized the importance of creating support networks to combat the vulnerability of migrant women. And on November 25, we raised awareness about women defenders in the Amazon. Internally, we evaluated our First Equality Plan four years after its implementation.

The 14th edition of “Run for a Cause,” our charity race series, brought together more than 17,000 people in 14 cities to advocate for the right to education for children in emergency situations.

The Youth Solidarity Network kicked off the academic year with the goal of strengthening critical thinking. A total of 14 participants in our international volunteer program, VOLPA, took part in the program across 9 countries.

“Voces por una Causa,” the Entreculturas podcast hosted by Julia Navarro, added 42 new episodes featuring guests such as Rosa Montero, Margarita Robles, Enric Puiggròs, S.J., and Patricia Simón.
