HORTA E GALINHEIRO SOLIDÁRIOS DA MARIA CARDOSO

Institution Opportunities

Description

Maria Cardoso's Solidarity Garden and Chicken Coop were born from the desire of a family, relocated from the Torre neighborhood, in Camarate, to recover practices of land cultivation and animal husbandry that have always been part of their way of life.

These initiatives seek to combat food insecurity, isolation and social exclusion, promoting the autonomy, well-being and dignity of the family and, whenever possible, supporting other people in vulnerable situations.

Through the production of organic vegetables and the raising of chickens, it is intended to develop a space for sharing, learning and solidarity, based on sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices.

Here, cultivating the land and taking care of animals is also taking care of people!

We are looking for people willing to collaborate in the maintenance of the vegetable garden and the chicken coop, namely:

- Cultivation, irrigation and harvesting of vegetables;

- Feeding and care of chickens;

- Repair and improvement of facilities;

- Knowledge sharing and resource mobilization.

We value the proximity to São Sebastião de Guerreiros (Loures), regular availability, the spirit of mutual help, initiative and social sensitivity.

No previous experience is necessary, just willingness to help!
