Come and help us with our social and humanitarian causes
The experience
We are a social and humanitarian NGO whose aim is to combat the causes of poverty. It's a decentralized movement in which each group roots its activities in the local reality. In Caneças, there are between 15 and 20 of us who live in community following the values of the movement.
Our activities include collecting and sorting donated items, preparing the store, as well as community activities such as cooking, gardening and caring for animals.
