Your time can change the course of a life
People who volunteer at ACATHI don't come to 'save' anyone. They come to support, listen, translate, teach, organise, communicate. Every hour is an hour that someone who arrived alone has someone by their side.

"I've been volunteering at ACATHI for two years and it's been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I didn't come to help — I came to learn. What I've learned about resilience, community and dignity, you won't find in any master's degree."
— Núria, emotional-support volunteer
