Coopera's MISSION is to carry out projects that improve the quality of life of our beneficiaries and contribute to reducing poverty and injustice in the world. We are committed to Education as the engine of progress. Access to education at any of its levels, education and professional training are the objective of our projects and are always present in them, whether they are educational or from other areas. We work in Development Cooperation Projects in African and South American countries in areas of education, training and professional training; in agricultural, environmental and food sovereignty projects. We work with communities and mainly with women. In Spain and Europe we mainly work on social awareness through Education for Development projects. For this we have our own Development Education Strategy. A third pillar of our activity is the Social Projects with which we try to promote people, especially women in long-term unemployment, from our immediate environment. We also work in health protection programs for children in Africa

The AEetc association (known as ETC Association) is a non-profit organisation of parents of children with cancer. Its main objective is to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and adolescents both during treatment and after treatment, when most side-effects start to appear. The life expectancy of a child diagnosed with cancer a few years ago was quite low. However, today many children survive cancer (around 80%) thanks, among other things, to early diagnosis, more precise surgery, more technologically advanced instruments and more effective chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. New treatments are more effective, but they are also more aggressive, and they leave a mark on children. As life expectancy of children diagnosed with cancer has increased, important long-term side effects have also been identified. They significantly limit children's quality of life: cognitive, physical, emotional and, consequently, social effects. The name ETC has a double meaning. On the one had, it is the acronym in Spanish for "cancer treatment side-effects" (Efectos del Tratamiento del Cancer). On the other hand, ETC means the fight against cancer does not finish when treatment comes to an end. Instead, there is a long "ETC" after treatment that negatively affect our children's quality of life. Side effects are not exclusive to childhood cancer, but children are the most vulnerable group, since they are in the process of intellectual, physical and emotional development. In the case of children diagnosed with brain tumors, mainly those that have been treated with radiotherapy, the consequences are lifelong and progressive.

Monica Esteban, the founder, in 2010 gave a Play Station to a boy who was going through a chemotherapy treatment in hospital and, immediately, she was able to observe how the little boy cheered up and faced his illness with a smile. Since then, we've been able to witness on a daily basis how playing games provide tremendous benefits for hospitalized children. Being away from home, away from their family and in an unknown environment, the hospital experience intimidates them. This is when video games, the tablet and the possibility of playing in a garden without leaving the hospital become a fundamental tool to connect with the world and make them forget where they are, at least while the game lasts.
