About the author

The Association's mission is to promote health and social action, aimed at empowering the most disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. In preventive terms, it consists of raising awareness, training / informing about disease prevention and health education. As a community-based organization with outreach services, it has also assumed an important role in solving concrete problems in the area of ​​social action, decisively strengthening the means available to combat / minimize poverty and social exclusion through care and social support, thus providing a better quality of life for the Communities. Over the years, he has developed several projects, supporting families and the elderly. And alongside these target groups, it has also been supporting evacuated PALOPS citizens / patients with medical boards that come through some complex arrangements and with many shortcomings in their operation. Because the patients coming to Portugal, in addition to the serious health problems they bring, are people, most of them women, in a situation of vulnerability and psychologically affected with numerous social problems. Embassies and Consolates with deficiencies in responsiveness are managed by the limited means available to their countries. On the other hand, the agreements signed in 1977 with the Portuguese Government for a price of 150 to 200 patients per year no longer correspond to current realities. Many have no family support and face many survival difficulties, extreme poverty and inhumanly deplorable situations. One of the biggest difficulties is the lack of housing. They live in houses with no minimum living conditions, others in overcrowded rooms including with children / newborns, each with its own pathology endangering public health. Some stay in hospitals for a long time, even creating hospital management difficulties for other patients. These patients are not accompanied by treatment and often the language barrier and literacy constitute difficulties in intervention. Most of these patients are scattered throughout the Lisbon metropolitan area. Although this is a State Matter in which the slowness of responses overlaps with humanitarian principles and values, PROSAUDESC as a Private Social Solidarity Institution has a duty to lend a hand where the state cannot reach. Thus the Association decided to present this application (Giving Hand) to the Giving Tuesday Campaign. Lending a Hand is a 3-stage social project, all relevant and complementing each other.
