Our mission is to provide humanitarian and social assistance, especially to the most vulnerable, preventing and repairing suffering and contributing to the defence of life, health and human dignity, following the fundamental principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Volunteering, Unity and Universality. To do so, we mobilize the “Power of Humanity”, through the generosity of volunteer people (mostly young people), as well as the generosity of donors and partners.

The reservation of the place for the accommodation will be the responsibility of CVP Sanguedo. To this end, account will be taken the safety and comfort of participants.
A balanced diet that guarantees the well-being of the participants is fundamental.
CVP Sanguedo will support the identification of the most appropriate and profitable means of transport and travel, raising the awareness of partners to the importance of cost-effectiveness. The purchase of trips can be carried out directly by CVP Sanguedo or by the partner (with subsequent reimbursement).
