THE FOUNDATION

At the heart of GAES

At Fundación GAES Solidaria, we work tirelessly to improve people’s lives through hearing health initiatives, research, and social support.

The Foundation’s hearing missions go beyond hearing care: they become bridges of communication and freedom.

Committed to hearing since 1996

We aim to improve the quality of life for people with hearing difficulties, especially those in vulnerable situations.

We focus our efforts on raising awareness, prevention, and hearing rehabilitation through solidarity projects and research support.

Thanks to the strong social commitment of GAES professionals and their active participation in GAES Solidaria initiatives, we’ve created a dynamic and committed solidarity
network.

To be a leading entity in hearing health, committed to everyone’s right to hear well. To support people in vulnerable situations through hearing rehabilitation, research, and awareness. To promote inclusion in society.

  • Solidarity: We believe in the importance of supporting those who need it most, wherever they are.

  • Empathy: We strive to understand and respond to the real needs of people.

It is an honor to collaborate with Fundación GAES Solidaria. We feel profound gratitude for having provided a better quality of life to the Tibetan refugees of Dharamsala, India.

Working with GAES Solidaria on the SJD Pediatric Cancer Center project allowed us to witness firsthand the great responsibility that GAES feels toward society—especially toward the most vulnerable children.

The commitment of organizations like Fundación GAES Solidaria fills us with hope and strengthens our efforts. Research into women’s cancer is an urgent priority that requires the collective effort of society. Your support allows us to keep moving forward in finding new solutions and treatments for a disease that affects 1 in 8 women.
