Background
Background
Puente de Esperanza (Bridge of Hope) is an inter-congregational project that arose in Madrid in 2005 when sisters of six different congregations met on the Diocesan Synod “Lightening Hope”. The sisters were concerned to respond to the precariousness in which immigrants lived and the idea to carry out a joint project arose, specifically in the neighbourhood of Tetuán. Tetuán is one of the Spanish capital's neighbourhoods with the largest migrant population, around 14% of its total population.
