Resources 
FUCADHU has several ways of collaboration in order to get funds aimed at allowing the implementation of its programs, projects and activities:

Business collaboration
The company is the chief responsible entity of the generation of wealth and the creation of jobs. It also creates a series of assets and services set aside to satisfy citizen’s demands, therefore it’s an indispensable economic and social agent.Relations between the company and the society has evolved from the mere sharing of products, services and labor into trade relations conditioned by the values and concerns of its social ambience.

Future companies tend to be:

• Economically viable and competitive.
• Socially responsible.
• Environmentally sensible.
• Value-sharing with employees, customers, suppliers and stockholders.

This new concept of “Social Corporative or Business Responsibility” tends to integrate within its strategy aspects previously considered marginal or philanthropic, and to rationalize its procedures so as to come together into the company’s basic foundation: economic profitability as a key factor in order to create wealth and make it grow. FUCADHU recognizes the advantages of business collaboration for its economic profits as well as communicative and professional possibilities.However, mutual collaboration shall be made with equity and social justice, combining business interests with our values as a Development Organization: Solidarity and Dignity, within a serious and efficient project, due to a shared commitment.
