FRIENDS OF TENERIFE – AMIGOS DE TENERIFE

The Association FRIENDS OF TENERIFE based in Tenerife was formed in 1993, as a charity organization to raise money to help children and people in need on the island.

We do this by holding events such as luncheons, dinner dances, car boot sales, auctions, and fashion shows. We also host a Business Directory on our website. We have fun doing this, we meet new people and we give something back to the island we are privileged to call home.

Over the past year the Committee of the Friends of Tenerife have given 16,125.60 euros to various charities who they considered worthy of such largesse. We are proud of the fact that apart from administrative costs such as raffle prizes, postage, printing and stationery we take out none of the proceeds from our events.

Recent donations given by the Friends of Tenerife:

• The Hospital Immaculada in Puerto – 2,034.60 euros
• Funds to help a bereaved widow - 591 euros
• Apanate, for autistic children in La Orotava, 5,000euros .
• Santa Rita Alzeimer's Unit – 3,000euros
• Martha Dos - 2,000euros
• Madre Mathilde Orphanage, 1,000 euros
• Santa Rita, for rebuilding – 2,000euros
• Friends of Tenerife South - startup funds - $500 euros

The membership fees, however, make up the largest contributions and for €10 (social membership) or €40 (Business Directory membership) we think it is the best social interaction possible so come along, join us and make lots of new friends whilst helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Friends of Tenerife is a registered charity, number – G38367892
