The students were beneficiaries of a BBVA Microfinance Foundation program that provides full tuition, laptops and support to children of vulnerable entrepreneurs, a scheme that has assisted 181 young people since its 2020 launch. A few weeks later, in early August 2026, the queen visited the Casa Esment disability‑inclusion centre in Palma de Mallorca with her daughters. The centre offers vocational workshops and training for people with intellectual disabilities, reporting that a high proportion of participants secure permanent employment. The visit underscored the foundation’s long‑standing role in promoting disability rights. These events show the queen’s continued involvement in education and social‑inclusion initiatives both within Spain and across Latin America. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: Spanish Queen Letizia and daughters visit disability inclusion center in Palma Spain’s Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía toured Palma’s Esment Foundation, a centre that trains people with intellectual disabilities; 383 were served in 2024, 85% gaining jobs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/spanish-queen-letizia-and-daughters-visit-disability-inclusion-center-in-palma ### 2026-07-24: Queen Letizia welcomes Dominican and other Latin American scholarship recipients in Spain Spain’s Queen Letizia met Dominican and other Latin American students awarded full university scholarships by BBVA’s Microfinance Foundation, underscoring the program’s expansion and impact. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/queen-letizia-welcomes-dominican-and-other-latin-american-scholarship-recipients-in-spain --- Cite as: Queen Letizia's charitable engagements.
