Paris Gala Raises Funds for Vietnam Orphanage and Spanish Therapy Center
In 2018, the Global Gift Foundation, led by actor and activist Eva Longoria, began supporting the Quang Chau Orphanage in Vietnam, where resources were virtually non‑existent. The foundation rebuilt the residence and renamed it Casa Ángeles Quang Chau Vietnam. Today the home cares for more than 100 children, many with special needs, providing food, clothing, medical care, education and a safe shelter.
On November 5, the Global Gift Gala was held at the Four Seasons George V in Paris to raise money for Casa Ángeles Quang Chau Vietnam and Casa Ángeles Marbella, a specialised therapy centre in Marbella, Spain. The event, chaired by founder María Bravo with Longoria as honorary chair, featured a cocktail reception, dinner, performances by Vitaa, Oria, Angélica de la Riva, Gipsy Reyes Heritage and a live auction. Funds were intended to support the foundation’s projects, including the day centre for children and young people with special needs.
Casa Ángeles Marbella offers modern facilities and a multidisciplinary team to deliver therapies, educational workshops and recreational programmes that promote inclusion and personal development. The Paris gala supported both the residential programme in Vietnam and the therapy centre in Spain.
Eva Longoria, honorary chair and honorary godmother of the Global Gift Foundation, has helped bring international visibility to the organisation. At the foundation’s 15th Global Gift Gala in Marbella in July 2026, Longoria and Bravo hosted an evening that raised funds for Casa Ángeles Marbella, Casa Ángeles Vietnam, families affected by wildfires in Spain and people affected by earthquakes in Venezuela.
The Global Gift Foundation, founded by María Bravo and Alina Peralta, uses high‑profile events to raise funds and awareness for its work, which focuses on healthcare, education, social inclusion and empowerment for vulnerable children, women and families worldwide.
