A community of Discalced Carmelite nuns at the Convento de la Sagrada Familia in Ciudad Rodrigo (Salamanca), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.
What it needs
Many rooms of the convent have serious leaks and water damage. The appeal pays for re-tiling and repairing parts of the roof.
Before you act. The appeal pages show a target and a percentage raised, not the amount in euros.
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
A ruined building in the convent orchard, beside a central city street, is shored up, damp and at risk of collapse. The appeal funds its urgent repair.
