A total of five services for children and a sixth for people in a situation of homelessness will receive this Catalan and children's magazine following a donation from the foundation linked to this publishing house
The Cavall Fort Foundation will donate its magazines, for a children's audience and in Catalan, to different Suara Cooperativa services, a measure through which around 1,700 people will benefit, approximately, of which 700 will be people served in children's services.
In detail, five services for children, which are attended by the Torre Baró Open Center, the Terres de l’Ebre CA, the El Fluvià CRAE and the Espai i Reforç Educatiu Càritas, will receive 21 Cavall Fort magazines per year, that is, two copies per month of this publication for boys and girls between 9 and 13 years old. This publication includes comics, different entertainment content, stories, games and reports.
In the case of the Barnahús of Tortosa and El Prat Llobregat, they will be sent 12 magazines, one per month, from El Tatano, a publication that this January has reached its 20th anniversary. This magazine, which offers easy, affordable and fun material, is aimed at boys and girls between 4 and 8 years old, who are beginning to enter the first stages of learning to read.
Finally, the homeless service of the CREL dels Alps, where adults are served, will also receive this magazine. In this context, the publication can be a tool to help the people served to know the language better. In this temporary center, we serve more than a thousand people a year, who will become potential readers.
The magazine for a children's audience and in Catalan Cavall Fort began to be published on December 24, 1961 as an initiative to promote reading in Catalan among children and young people, promoted by a diverse group of people in the midst of the Franco dictatorship. With the initial support of sectors of the Church (bishoprics of Vic and Solsona), it began with a print run of 1,000 copies.
For its part, the first steps of El Tatanto were as a bimonthly publication for the youngest that accompanied El Cavall Fort. It was not until the end of 2025 that it began its journey independently and as its own publication.
