Thousands of people have been forced to flee and will face winter far from home, in temporary shelters, with few resources or means to keep warm
Join Portugal's humanitarian response with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's national partner, and help protect these families.
UNHCR is stepping up its response ahead of the cold. In Afghanistan and neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, families have faced decades of conflict, poverty, hunger and natural disasters. UNHCR builds shelters, provides heaters and supports families with monetary aid for food, clothing and fuel to protect them from the harsh winter.
Since the invasion of Ukraine, millions have fled their homes and faced winters in temporary accommodation. The government is repairing destroyed buildings, distributing insulation kits, and offering monetary support. In neighbouring countries such as Moldova, it helps with integration and access to employment.
In the Middle East, families in Syria are facing another winter away from home. UNHCR teams are in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, providing solar lamps and heaters, repairing shelters, and providing monetary and health assistance.

Operation Red Nose presents the The Most Valuable T-Shirt in History, where we want to bring João's dream to life.
João was one of the children that the Clown Doctors of Operation Red Nose accompanied. Throughout his short life, much of it spent in hospital, João forged very strong bonds of friendship with the Clown Doctors. That's why he decided to donate his most treasured possession to the ONV: a shirt signed by the players of the national football team. His dream was that we could use the shirt to raise funds to continue the mission in hospitals, so that more children like him could receive visits from the Clown Doctors.
We can all honour João's dream with as little as just €1. You'll be helping to increase the value of João's jersey, which for ONV is already the most valuable in the world, but which we'd like to become the Most Valuable Jersey in History.

As part of its social responsibility, CP is renewing its support for ACREDITAR - the association of parents of children and young people who have or have had cancer - by publicising a new campaign.
September is International Paediatric Cancer Awareness Month, a very special time for organisations that support children and young people with cancer and their families. The golden ribbon symbolises the strength, courage and resilience of these children and young people.
Around 400 cases are diagnosed each year. For patients and their families, the diagnosis brings profound changes to their lives. In survival, the after.effects resulting from both the disease and the treatments are responsible for a lower quality of life in two thirds of survivors.
With the motto ‘When cancer gets in the way, no one goes it alone’, On this, its 30th anniversaty, Acreditar warns of the importance of mobilising the community in quality of life in paediatric cancer care.
Get involved by spreading the message on social media, giving out golden ribbon bracelets or pins, or organising Golden Moments with friends, family or colleagues. Find all the information here.
"The excuses for what he did to you are countless. Every day was different, except they weren't". This is the motto of the most recent national campaign to prevent and combat physical and psychological domestic violence organised by the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality (CIG), with the support of Portugal's secretary of state for equality and migration.
The initiative was presented on the same day that various entities across the country signed or renewed their commitment to the Pact against Violence, a project that aims to create and formalise a network of partner entities to mobilise emergency responses and support the work of the structures of the National Support Network for Victims of Domestic Violence.
The main goal is to prevent and combat domestic violence in Portugal, which is a serious problem.
In 2022, there were 28 fatalities in the context of domestic violence, and the number of complaints was the highest in the last four years, with more than 30,000 cases recorded, according to the Domestic Violence Portal.
If you need help or want to report a case, call 112 or 800 202 148. Domestic violence is a criminal offence.

Today is the day to choose a life without tobacco.
As part of its social responsibility, CP has joined the smoking prevention campaign run by Liga Portuguesa Contra o Cancro (the Portuguese League Against Cancer), publicising it through its communication channels, namely posters on board its trains, with the message: "Today is the day to choose a life without tobacco".
Tobacco is one of the things that most contributes to the degradation and acceleration of ageing in the body. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 toxic constituents, around 40 of which are known to be potentially carcinogenic.
Although the long-term effects of the other compounds are not yet fully understood, it is known that tobacco is the only risk factor common to four of the main chronic diseases.
It is also one of the main risk factors for Lung Cancer - the type of cancer that causes the most deaths in Europe and whose probability of survival is only between 15% and 18% (5 years after diagnosis).

Banco do Bebé (Baby bank) is a humanist association that has the value of life at the centre of its actions, guiding its intervention towards the beginning of life, which translates into support for newborns and their families, as the natural and fundamental nucleus of our society. Banco do Bebé invests in training its human resources and parents, so that together they can contribute to the quality of life and well-being of the families they support.
In a continuous endeavour to find new and better ways of responding to social issues, it set up the Home Support Project. Concerns about social justice and a more equitable distribution of wealth led to the creation of the Association, values that continue today to be the guiding principles of the support they provide.
