We are a
Portuguese NGO,
Non-profit, non-religious, and non-political.
In
order to further our programs, we send goods and improve education to help to Guinea-Bissau, one of the poorest
countries in the world.
Our
members go to Guinea-Bissau to
organize the distribution and the projects, but also to identify the
most urgent needs of population. They also perform the follow-up on the use of the donations.
Each
member of Ajuda Amiga involved paid for his own travelling expenses.
Our mission is helped
in Guinea-Bissau by our local volunteers, by the Embassy of Portugal,
by NGOs of Guinea-Bissau, which has a partnership with us, and by the
Catholic Church. |
Ajuda Amiga provide short training courses about
Technologies of Information, Agriculture, Conservation, Health, etc., for
teachers and experts. These are done in cooperation with our local partners.
Ajuda Amiga also distribute hundreds of technical books
and some office furniture, computers, sewing machines, etc., in order to create
or improve Vocational Training Schools on Guinea-Bissau. |
Promoting and improving education is our first priority.
