The International Association of Relatives and People Affected by Lipodystrophies AELIP, has participated in a free online training course offered by the Lealtad Foundation in order to obtain the seal that distinguishes it as an accredited NGO.
This seal is a unique distinction in Spain that identifies NGOs that fully comply with the 9 Principles of Transparency and Good Practices. Its objective is to reinforce donors' confidence in NGOs and to contribute to their donation being effective. Fundación Lealtad's accreditation is based on an analysis requested voluntarily by the organisations themselves and includes more than 40 indicators.
Fundación Lealtad accredits associations and foundations involved in social action, development cooperation, humanitarian aid, scientific research associated with health and/or the environment. They are organisations of different sizes that develop projects for children, women, people with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, the elderly, etc. They work in different areas such as health, education, labour integration and volunteering, among others.
AELIP, which has been declared an NGO of public utility since 2016 and which also complies with the principles of transparency such as auditing its accounts on an annual basis and making them visible in its transparency web section, among others, has begun the necessary procedures to be accredited by the Lealtad Foundation.
The entity is already working to achieve this accreditation in 2020.
