Meninos de Oiro needs a trolley to get further safely!

Meninos de Oiro's main social response is the CAFAP O Farol Family Support and Parental Counseling Center.

The CAFAP The Lighthouse currently accompanies more than a hundred children and young people at risk or danger from the South Bank and is constantly on the move at home visits, appointments, meetings, etc.

As the geographical area of ​​intervention of Meninos de Oiro is very extensive, from Setúbal to Lisbon, including Azeitão, Quinta do Conde, Sesimbra, Seixal and Almada, the technical team is obliged to travel constantly.

Now this work is extremely important and cannot wait, so Meninos de Oiro urgently needs to buy a safe and reliable car. The cart that is used is almost 18 years old and is constantly damaged, making travel very risky!

And in order to achieve this, we need your help very much because, like most associations, we have severe financial constraints.

Thank you.

Well there is!
