The foundation was established to create opportunities for vulnerable people through responsible finance. Speaking at the evening, Letizia highlighted how “almost two million entrepreneurs have had access to financial services that have allowed them to move forward. In all of them, there was something in common: individual initiative, the desire for improvement, the wish to achieve a better life. And in many cases, behind all that energy is the deep longing for progress for their children; there is the need for their future to be more prosperous and for those children to have a better education. And this is one of the essential values of the Foundation: the impact that its work is having on the next generations, which is already quantifiable today, ten years later.”

Queen Letizia chose a Carolina Herrera blouse and red Hugo Boss slim-fit crepe pencil skirt. The outfit was perfect for the event.
