Offering Help for Refugees, since 2014

By Debora Blair | Project Leader

The NGO Compassiva assists refugees in the LAR Program (the abbreviation if Portuguese for "Offering Help for Refugees") since 2014.

We currently have 130 students enrolled in the Portuguese classes since January of 2020, with an average of 90 students regularly present. The beginners class has currently the record of enrolled students: 42 in total. Furthermore, there's a waiting list of 12 refugees for our portuguese classes due our lack of space. We are currently working in our maximum capacity.

These people are also assisted with social work services and labour integration services. They come mostly from Syria and Palestine; the other nationalities served are Morrocans, Egyptians, Iranians, Iraqians, Afegans, among others.

We also count on 57 volunteers working in all of these projects on a regular basis, plus around 5 or 6 others that serve the projects in punctual demands.
