The main goal of this project is to promote social initiatives that support isolated elderly people, and abandoned or orphaned children with disabilities. This work addresses the two demographics mentioned above by enhancing their personal development, encouraging their social inclusion and active participation in the community, and providing them with psychological support. As part of these activities, the project will provide sports activities, cultural visits, interaction with the wider community and support in understanding the rights of elderly or disabled people in Portuguese society. Since 2011, the work has helped around 650 elderly people and 900 young children. The grant will cover part of the cost of running these activities.
