In Portugal, ORBIS has been concentrating on promoting human rights and education for development. It works in collaboration with partners and communities on the ground, currently implementing projects in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
Based in Aveiro, ORBIS has a team of volunteers dedicated to the realization of projects and resource mobilization.
Main projects:
- One Child, One Future!
ORBIS sponsors, remotely, preschool and primary school children, ensuring enrollment, tuition, and a daily hot meal.
- My Dream is to Study!
ORBIS promotes Education for Development among primary and secondary school children and young people in Portugal, encouraging them to sponsor a Guinean student of the same age, ensuring their enrollment in Guinea-Bissau.
- Solidarity Commerce
This is a Fair-Trade project by ORBIS that sells handicrafts brought from the project implementation areas, especially from workshops and cooperatives that employ and train individuals from vulnerable groups.
- Dreams Are Born Here!
This project involves building a school in the Bairro da Coragem, in the Úcua province of Angola, so that children from the community do not have to travel 14 km to the nearest school.
