Once again, we would like to thank all of you who participated in the 2026 call for projects.
SELAVIP received a total of 390 projects from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, of which 81% (316 projects) were declared eligible and obtained a ranking, Based on this ranking and the funds authorised for 2026, which amount to almost USD$6,000,000, 73 projects have been selected that will improve the quality of life for more than 14,000 families.
We invite the NGOs whose projects were selected to work together with the families that will benefit and, if possible, to join the public and private sectors, as this network makes everything easier when there is a will on all sides to get families out of these environments of poverty and misery.
We would also like to report, in accordance with our transparency policy, that the remaining 19% (74 projects in total) were declared inadmissible because they did not include the information needed to properly evaluate the project, did not calculate costs correctly, did not read the terms and conditions of the call for proposals, did not meet the objectives defined by SELAVIP, used asbestos in the construction process, which is prohibited, and due to delays in the execution of projects from previous years, some of which have not yet been completed.
We would have liked to select many more. However, our resources are limited. Every year, our Foundation increases its funds so that we can select more projects and reach families in need and vulnerable situations, since with most of the NGOs with which SELAVIP has worked in the past, as well as with the new ones we add each year, we have built friendships, trust, and a commitment to reaching the places of greatest need, with transparency in our joint work on behalf of the poorest of the poor.
Fraternal greetings and many thanks to all those who work for a more equal world with greater social justice.
