The future is in your hands
Above all, collaborate!
On this page you can find several ways to collaborate in our initiatives but, above all, we suggest that you start collaborating in general in transforming the world!
There are several international agendas that promote necessary transformations, but it is not enough to leave the future in the hands of large entities such as the United Nations or believe that international agreements, such as the one in Paris, will be enough to share resources for humanity or to achieve the reduction of emissions of carbon that the planet needs. We live in an era where we can choose to be part of this great boat towards a more harmonious future between humanity and the planet. If you are a student, try to travel as a volunteer in NGOs, if you have too many objects that you do not use, donate in kind, if you have time, volunteer in solidarity initiatives or in defense of the environment close to you!
In the end, you will receive an unparalleled prize: you will feel fulfilled for being able to support one of the greatest missions in vogue: contributing to the transformation of the world!

DONATE FOR UNICA GODMOTHER
UNICA GODMOTHER is a sponsorship service for a group of 77 children that ÚNICA has identified as extremely needy in Bissau schools with which it collaborates. It is not about the conventional individual sponsorship of children, but about supporting this group, guaranteeing access to education, clothing, school materials, health and observing the state in which they live. Donations to Madrinha ÚNICA can be made in kind or in cash. It is a service that looks for ideas and resources, strategies, and results. A service that needs you to proliferate and support the education of these 77 children.
2021 – we were able to deliver shoes, school materials, clothes, and a party lunch at the beginning of the year. A small contribution that we need to improve much further.

On the agenda are basic infrastructural needs, school materials, teacher training, promotion of activities, urgent needs, etc.

DONATE FOR PERU NON-FORMAL SCHOOL
Together with a native family from a village near Pucallpa, along the Ucayali River, UNICA NGO created a non-formal school that accommodates approximately 20 children identified as extremely needy, sometimes orphans or without birth certificates. The objective is to encourage the ability to be in a group, to feel what it is like to be in a school, to learn to paint, the alphabet and numerals… Over a year with these children, we intend to make efforts to create a birth record for these children, thus promoting a gradual integration into society, being able to attend the local public school, access the health center, or visit the city. Without documents, these children are deprived of what society has to offer in terms of social services and live in the shadow of families that often do not want to keep these children and do not have the resources to support them in the same way that they support their children. This is a delicate situation that needs your support, innovative ideas, and resources. Do we count on you?

Dear ones, in a pleasant coffee conversation, a friendship and a dream were born between me and David, which led me to participate in the mission to Guinea Bissau in 2019, in addition to personal motivation, there was also social motivation. As a citizen of the world, I felt that I had and have an obligation to transmit my knowledge, experience, and experiences that I have acquired throughout my life as a firefighter and health professional. This mission helped me to see the world in another way when I saw people with nothing, but a smile was still visible on their faces, while we with almost everything are unhappy.
More projects are being worked on with David and the Fire Department I command. Honestly, there are no words to describe the way I was received at Bissau airport by the Netos de Bandim (local dance group), and the reception that the Bissau Firefighters made for graduation.
Continue with your strength and determination to help the most disadvantaged 💪
💮 Hi, my name is Andreia Lopes, I’m 42 years old and I’m from Sintra where I also live. I teach Musical Expression, I am a Music Producer, Singer and Volunteer at the NGO Única.
In 2017 I was part of a Transatlantic Mission to Peru, an experience that led me to reflect deeply on the impact that a volunteer project can have on the life of a disadvantaged community, where a hug can often change an entire perspective of life.
I concluded that sharing is always mutual and that the needs are the same.
I believe that when we support a child, we also support their entire family, as well as ourselves, unprecedentedly, as our outlook on life will never be the same.
It has always been a desire of mine to go to work in Africa for the benefit of those in need, so when David arrived from his first trip to Guinea Bissau with this dream of creating the NGO, I embraced the dream without hesitation. Never expecting to find what was waiting for me/us. I knew it was going to be something unforgettable, I didn’t expect it to be so transformative.
Since 2015 I have been going on Missions to Guinea Bissau and whenever I return I bring a fuller heart than I took. It is enriching to realize, from year to year, the difference we are making in schools. I remember with special affection the moment when we felt that everything we had started could not go back and that we were really making a difference. It was the moment to dream with the certainty of a better future for those children and consequently for Guinea Bissau! So I hope and wish to continue to contribute to a bright path for Guinea Bissau!!
Despite all the stories and reports, when I arrived in Guinea, I wasn’t sure what I would find.
It got off to a good start with the positive energy, affection and friendship of our volunteers upon arrival at the airport.
During the week I saw incredible things like the dedication of Jair and his companions to provide a possibility of education to all those children, I saw more than 120 educators with an open heart to share knowledge, I saw many open hearts and with a common cause, to give a possibility of education, of the future, of life to many children of Guinea Bissau.
I also saw a beautiful land.
Being with Jorge, Carlitos, Nené, Assunção, Jair, Nelson, Maimuna and all the people who fight for this cause was a real lesson in courage and Humility and proof of how you can do so much with so little.
I sincerely thank all these people, our fantastic volunteers and I praise the courage and dedication of David, Ilesa and Filomena for everything they represent.
I hope I can always continue to contribute.
Greetings to you dear friends.
