Portuguese Red Cross

For a more humane world
The Portuguese Red Cross strives to prevent and alleviate human suffering, in Portugal and around the world.
It is the Portuguese Red Cross mission to provide humanitarian and social assistance, especially to the most vulnerable, preventing and repairing suffering and contributing to the defense of life, health and human dignity. [Article 5, Decree-Law No. 281/2007, August 7]
To develop our activity, we mobilize the “Power of Humanity”, as well as the generosity of donors and partners across the country.
As the National Society of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement , we act in respect for the fundamental principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Volunteerism, Unity and Universality.
