As part of this year’s trip, we are supporting APAV, a nonprofit organization that provides free, confidential support to victims of crime and violence and their families in the Lisbon community and beyond. For over 35 years, APAV has assisted more than 400,000 individuals by offering emotional, legal, and social services, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations including children, women, the elderly, and victims of human trafficking.

You can help us support the work of APAV in the following ways:
