ROVERS SOLIDARITY: A PROJECT FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Welcome to Rovers Solidarity, the project of the Rovers footwear firm aimed at fighting for a fairer society, where all people have the same opportunities to develop their qualities and abilities without obstacles under the same conditions, in short, a better society.

Rovers Solidarity is a personal project of Geli Brotons-founder, designer and soul of Rovers-where she, from her own life experiences, makes the decision to put all her efforts into materializing it.

The benefit of the products and services of the Rovers firm goes to solidarity through the Rovers Solidarity brand. In the following lines you can learn and delve deeper into the reality of this great project.

GELI BROTONS

As she acknowledges – “talking about Geli is talking about all the people who have accompanied her from the beginning of her life”.

She was born in 1956 into a typical family of those years. Her father was a farmer, and when she was just three years old, she was already a child who worked in the fields and her mother was one of the few women who was able to access professional studies at a time when women did not have access to The education.

Her father’s family, led by a very stern patriarch and a blind mother, raised Geli’s father as a “working boy”. A teacher went to her country house to teach the children the four basic rules and did so for a period of about three months.

ACTIONS

Defora Foundation

Rovers The Solidarity Brand focuses all its charitable actions on the Defora Foundation, which was created by Geli Brotons and whose main objective is the labor integration of people with different abilities in society.

The Defora Foundation was born in a social context in which people with disabilities have special difficulties in leading a life in equal conditions and opportunities as the rest, and therefore, aspire to a hopeful future.

At the Defora Foundation we want to create the right conditions so that people with some type of disability are included in society; and the best way we know to achieve this goal is through a job. A paid job that allows them to increase their independence and develop their abilities to the maximum: manual skills, creativity, emotions, etc. In short, learning a trade and transferring that knowledge to the rest of society in the form of a final product or service.

The Defora Foundation aims to be the space for coexistence and learning where you can acquire useful tools to access a life full of opportunities. A space that gives security and tranquility to families, that serves as an umbrella by offering the support, preparation necessary to face the day to day when we are no longer around.

The Defora Foundation has the ambition to endure over time, that its breath remains throughout the generations and that it can guarantee many families in this situation that their children will have a future created by their own hands, a better future.
