El Naturalista deliver 44,150 to ProPera to collaborate in the construction of the "Home for disabled and abandoned children of Arequipa."

On 7th November, El Naturalista delivered 44,150 to the Director of ProPera, Laura Arribas, in order to complete the construction of the Home for disabled and abandoned children of Arequipa, within the collaboration of the Atauchi Project, a joint initiative between the footwear company El Naturalista and the NGO ProPera.

The contribution comes about as a result of the sales of shoes from the 'Nasca' range of the 2007 winter and summer collections, in which one euro from every pair sold worldwide went towards the project.

With this latest donation, El Naturalista has added a total of 89,650, of which 77,150 went to the Home of Arequipa, and 12,500 to the rehabilitation of schools in Chalaco in northern Peru. The two projects which focus on childhood, acknowledge that education of the youngest is the primary objective of the Atauchi Project.

With this result, it can be said that almost 90,000 people around the world have supported the Atauchi Project.

El Naturalista was born in La Rioja (Spain), a fertile and prosperous area with a well known footwear tradition that knows about quality and healthy balance between tradition and modernity. El naturalista designs a comfortable and friendly type of shoe to walk beside the natural values of the firm.
