A community of Discalced Carmelite nuns at the Monasterio de Santa Ana y San José in Córdoba, one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.
What it needs
The nuns support themselves by embroidering liturgical textiles and running a small sweet bakery. The appeal helps them buy an embroidery machine.
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.
