The Maranatha Federation of Gypsy Associations, is an organization of 20 associations distributed throughout the Valencian Community. Their main objectives are the training of Roma people and the promotion of this ethnic group and its culture. Technical experts, peers and volunteers work in service of the member associations and also on the projects that these associations are currently implementing. Those projects are within wider programmes, such as eradication of school early leave / absenteeism, promotion of Roma women or provision of socio-labour mediation services. The Maranatha Federation is also in charge of the celebration of festivals, intercultural colloquiums, workshops and international seminars.
