"Discover the oldest gift
in the world"

This Christmas, Apadrinaunolivo.org highlights three challenges beating at the heart of our country: villages fading away and schools closing, fields without generational renewal, and access to decent housing becoming increasingly out of reach.

Through three interconnected stories —the gaze of a child, the memory of an elder, and the dream of a young woman— we discover that these challenges, although different, stem from the same root: the loss of opportunities.

But they also reveal a spark of hope: how a simple gesture can change everything. Sponsoring an olive tree means sowing the future where it once seemed there was none.

Three voices. One heartbeat.
This Christmas, give the oldest gift in the world.


A child's perspective

A child’s dream and a school that refuses to disappear

In Oliete, a young boy dreams of creating his own “Deportivo Oliete”, but he lacks classmates. In his letter to the Three Wise Men, he asks for an olive tree: he knows that when many people sponsor, new families arrive and classrooms fill up again.

His story reflects the fragile reality of many rural schools.

Can you resist a child’s wish?

The memory of an elder

Our heritage: ensuring the land does not die

An elderly man gazes upon the olive groves that he and his ancestors tended, now at risk of being abandoned. His wish is simple and profound: to leave his grandchildren a place to return to, a legacy that won’t disappear with him.

His voice recalls the lack of generational renewal in the countryside and the abandonment threatening our land. With every sponsored olive tree, those dreams —and those landscapes— regain a future.

Shall we give him an answer?

A young woman’s dream

A young woman, her future, and the housing crisis

Pregnant and unable to afford housing in the city, a young woman discovers that in Oliete, thanks to Apadrinaunolivo.org, others have found a home to start over.

She asks for an olive tree: if it has opened so many doors, perhaps it will open hers too.

Her story reflects the difficulty of accessing decent housing —a challenge that especially affects young people and families. In the village, each sponsorship becomes an opportunity to restore more homes for those who come, work with us, and need them.

Will you help us refurbish a new home?

A simple gesture that can change everything
