Learn Senior Chinese Citizens Speak the Language

I need urgent support to get my project started because I’m working to create a meaningful impact on the Chinese community in Barcelona, particularly for those who face social and cultural isolation. The most vulnerable members—children and seniors who don’t speak Spanish or English—are struggling to integrate and connect with the local community, often feeling disconnected and marginalized.

To ensure the success of this project, I need funding to cover essential costs, including:

• Rent: There will be a classroom rented this space will serve as a sanctuary where they can reconnect with their roots while adapting to their new environment.

• Equipment: normal teaching equipment like a multimedia device and flash cards

• Hiring staff: teachers for cultural and language classes, and support staff like accounting for taxes

However, the costs will not come from the community itself, as many members of the Chinese immigrant population in Barcelona face financial constraints. Most are small business owners and migrants who work hard to provide for their families, both locally and back home in China. Compared to their European counterparts, Chinese immigrants typically earn less income, facing challenges in accessing well-paying jobs or scaling their businesses due to language barriers and cultural differences. Many prioritize frugality and send money back to their families in China, leaving little room for extra financial contributions to local community initiatives.

This is why external funding is essential to get this project off the ground. By securing support from foundations, corporations, and donors, we can create this much-needed, culturally sensitive space without placing any financial strain on the community we aim to help. The funds will go toward purchasing land, furnishing the space, and hiring staff, ensuring the project benefits the community without burdening it financially.

This project will be a lifeline for a community that feels disconnected, giving them a chance to thrive in their new environment. With the right support, we can create a vibrant space that fosters cultural integration and community well-being while respecting the financial realities of the families it serves.

Your help is essential to making this vision a reality.
