Associação HELPO
HELPO Association
Description
Helpo is a Non-Profit Organization for the Development, founded in November 2007. It is an apolitical organization that carries out continuous support programs, assistance projects, disaster relief, community development, education for development and human development in four countries in the Northern and Southern hemispheres (Portugal, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and S. Tomé and Príncipe). Helpo’s intervention vectors focus on the promotion of educational projects, food assistance, health education, empowerment, generation of own income, education for development, human development and humanitarian and emergency aid.
Helpo is directly and permanently rooted on the field, in order to be able to implement its projects or closely monitor their implementation. Thus, Helpo provides a solid local presence which is assumed as part of a whole process of support, which begins with the raising of sponsors in Portugal. This is achieved by monitoring the children, supported schools and communities, distribution of essential goods and services, support for schools and preschools facilities and even construction of structural projects and of Community Development.
Mission
Helpo executes educational, training and income generating projects, thus empowering the local community. We see education for development as the foundation for accepting differences and raise awareness, thus enabling a more active role by the civil society in solving global social problems.
