It focuses its activities on combating social exclusion and all forms of loneliness, also providing basic health care to those who do not have easy access to it. Particularly, it focuses on homeless or homeless people and elderly people, among others who tend to be isolated or have little social interaction. Based on company and conversation, we believe we can help improve the quality of life of these people, promoting their physical, emotional and social well-being in a more human way. In this way, we intend to help with the social integration of those who, in some way, feel faced with a situation of exclusion, of those who feel that their voice is not heard.
