ESC: Volunteering at the Italian Red Cross [Portuguese only!]

Portuguese Red Cross - Delegation of Cucujães promotes social inclusion, humanitarian values and social support to those in disadvantaged situations.
Integrated in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the Portuguese Red Cross - Delegation of Cucujães was created with the same aim to: operate in emerging scenarios of armed conflict and natural disasters both in Portugal and abroad. Worldwide, the Red Cross is the biggest humanitarian organization reaching over 150 million beneficiaries. Our intervention always happens in line with our fundamental principles: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, Unity and Universality.
Our organization's aim is to provide assistance without discrimination (nationality, race, religious background, social class or political beliefs) to those in more disadvantaged circumstances in order to improve the lives of vulnerable people.
Our organization's scope of action is very wide with different activities for different target groups (from children and young people to adults dealing with addictions, homeless, refugees, disabled and the elderly).
The Portuguese Red Cross - Delegation of Cucujães works towards improving our community at both regional and national levels seeking to fulfil our goal of fighting for equality and dignity of all people promoting equal access to essential social services, education and work opportunities.
We are a supporting/ sending and hosting organisation on European Solidarity Corps programme: 2019-1-PT02-ESC52-006514.
