A commitment that lives on
Including Fundación ADS in your will is a way for your values to keep creating opportunities in the future, supporting water, health, education and community development projects in Africa.
A decision rooted in your values
Throughout life, we make decisions that reflect our values and how we see the world. For some people, one of them is deciding that part of their legacy will keep doing good after they are gone.
Including Fundación ADS in your will is a way for that commitment to live on. Your legacy will support water, health, education and development projects in rural communities in Africa.
Your legacy will help to:
💧 Drinking water
Build wells, water supply systems and sanitation solutions in rural communities.
🏥 Health
Improve health facilities, equipment and basic care in low-resource areas.
📚 Education
Support the building and upgrading of schools, and access to learning materials.
🌱 Rural development
Strengthen livelihoods, food security and sustainable community projects.
You can include your support in different ways
A specific amount
Leave a set amount from your estate and help us keep improving the lives of those who need it most.
A percentage of your estate
Include a percentage of your estate, alongside what you leave to your family and loved ones.
A specific asset
You can leave a property, shares, funds or another asset to help keep our projects going.
How to include Fundación ADS in your will
1. Talk to your notary
Making a will is a simple process carried out before a notary.
2. State your wishes
If you want to include Fundación ADS, just say so and the right wording will be added.
3. Update it whenever you need to
You can change your will at any time if your circumstances change.
No tax burden for your heirs
Fundación ADS is covered by Spain’s Patronage Law (Law 49/2002), so what it receives through inheritances or legacies is exempt from corporate tax: 100% of your legacy goes to its projects. Your heirs pay no tax on the share you choose to leave to the Foundation.
ADS was set up in 2005 as Amigos de Silva by a group of professionals who wanted to put their experience to work for international cooperation.
Looking to the future
After more than 20 years, we at ADS still firmly believe that development is built together with the people and communities we work with.
We want to keep running projects that improve thousands of lives. And we want to reach new regions where water, health, education or food are still a daily struggle.
But we don’t do it alone. ADS is also a community of people, companies and institutions who believe that fairer development is possible.
If you share this vision, we invite you to join us: get involved, back our initiatives or explore new ways to work together.
Because when many people join forces, the impact goes much further.
