Hortensia Herrero to donate 4 million euros to promote culture in the areas affected by flooding

Hortensia Herrero, through the Foundation that bears her name, will provide four million euros to help those affected by the storm that hit the province of Valencia three weeks ago. The real extent of the devastation caused by the flooding in the towns affected has become clear over the last few days and Hortensia Herrero has decided to contribute to the recovery of the cultural and educational sector and to an industry with strong roots in the region.

The Valencian patron of the arts will provide these four million euros to support and promote four very specific sectors.

  1. Traditional Valencian textile sector
  2. Musical societies
  3. Dance schools
  4. Educational centres

Work is now focused on quantifying the damage in these four sectors in the areas affected by the storm and helping to accelerate recovery.
