El Nahual does not receive any form of financial assistance from any institution or organization, local or international. The organization therefore relies solely on the financial support of those that have been directly involved in the program and their family and friends. Whilst the Spanish School provides sufficient financial assistance to cover the base costs of the community center and the projects within which we work, we are heavily reliant on donations to continually increase the impact that we can make in the local area. Moreover, due to the small size of the project and the fact that it is run entirely by volunteers, donations directly help the local community without getting lost in the bureaucracy and wage costs of larger organisations.

How you can help?

Online Financial Donation

If you would like to help the El Nahual center financially, your money will go along way to having a positive effect on the projects within which we work. We have no minimum or maximum limit on how much one can donate and any form of assistance is more than welcomed!
