On The Road - Humanitarian Association

On The Road - Humanitarian Association is a NGO, which promotes a project whose main mission is to contribute to the creation of what we call a "welcoming culture". Our focus is on supporting refugees in their life in a country other than their country of origin, seeking to mitigate, where possible, the difficulties of adapting to a different reality. We believe that all people should be treated with dignity and respect, and the most vulnerable should receive special attention. We repudiate all kinds of discrimination, whether based on nationality, ethnicity, culture, religion, social origin, gender etc. And we believe in the construction of an open, informed, free and hospitable society, especially for those who, suffering from persecution, living in conflict zones or simply not being able to lead a dignified life, are forced to leave their homes and seek asylum with us. The Refugees Welcome Portugal project is hosted by our organisation and was launched in September 2015. We provide support in the areas of ​​housing, teaching Portuguese, we organize cultural and leisure activities, provide support for job searching as well as legal and psychological support.
