Our Action
Espaço ncora is a social solution opened to the community and consists of a set of services available to the target population who need to be busy during the day.
It is imperative that conditions of trust be created and that the centre is seen as a place of support, care and aquisition of skills. The beneficiaries are free to choose from a set of means, services and take advantage of them as long as they wish based on their personal needs and objectives.
This place relies on specialized technicians who implement actiities with the target population. An alternative space for socialising has been developed where the recreational activities are organized and implemented.
