What it is

A community of Discalced Carmelite nuns at the Monasterio de San José in Maluenda (Zaragoza), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.

What it needs

The community lives mainly from the sweets it bakes. In the middle of the Christmas baking season a gas explosion inside its only oven destroyed it, and without a replacement the nuns cannot work. The appeal covers part of the cost of a new oven.

Before you act. The appeal pages show a target and a percentage raised, not the amount in euros.

Termites were detected inside the polychrome wooden altarpiece of the convent church a few weeks before the appeal opened in late September 2026. The appeal pays for a bait-and-trap treatment planned over four years to eradicate the colony.
