WHAT IS AUSEL?
AUSEL – (AUSEL – ATENCIÓN A LA URGENCIA SOCIAL EDUCATIVA Y LABORAL ) ATTENTION TO SOCIAL EDUCATION AND LABOUR URGENCY is a non-profit association that works to promote the educational continuity and labour insertion of people from the firm conviction that a better society is possible, and that we are all responsible for it’s change. We work with the belief that education and employment are the basis for this change that equalize and dignify us. That is why they are the basis of our strategy to address the true causes of the difficulties of our beneficiaries, which will normally be related to personal aspects.
Our programs provide comprehensive attention to the processes of social and labour insertion of people belonging to groups that show the most disadvantaged side of this globalized society: drug addicts, minors in social conflict, ethnic minorities, single-parent families, women, etc. , with attention to their individual needs to achieve these goals.
We promote and support our young people’s vocations, most of which are hidden. In this sense, all our programs include colloquiums and conferences with professionals from different fields, and we enhance artistic training with related workshops, knowing that through art, values are cultivated and cultural identity is reinforced.
The proposal does not stop at this level, but rather includes the adult population of the intervention areas (mainly for parents and women), addressing issues of individual, family and community interest that are addressed according to the needs of the people who participate.
In addition, we propose training workshops for the teachers in the area, with the aim of providing them with tools for the detection and identification of learning difficulties in children and adolescents.
With all these premises, we have launched the first project, PAÍS, of the AUSEL Association in Guatemala.

HISTORY
Brief history of Ausel
The idea of founding the AUSEL Association was born in 2015 after Miguel Angel volunteered at the NPH Guatemala Foundation. A year later, upon his return to Spain, he had already decided he would return one day with the firm intention of continuing to help Guatemalan minors, both from NPH and from the community.
Since 2015, Miguel Ángel, who until then had only worked as an engineer for large multinationals, decided to further his skillsets with a Master’s Degree in International Cooperation and Development. He held positions of responsibility in the management of Social Entities and in the coordination and execution of projects for several NGOs, both in Spain and in several developing countries. Miguel Ángel’s professional experience combining Social Action (NGOs) and the private sector, have culminated in the creation of the AUSEL Association in 2022.
