SOCIAL WORK
Comunidade Hindu de Portugal promotes and participates in various social and philanthropic actions.
These are some of the most relevant actions in recent years.
Volunteers Platform
A project funded by FAMI that aims
to connect people who are available
and interested in volunteering
with those who, in the first phase of adapting to our country, need help in a wide variety of areas.
'Ann Dan Maha Dan'
Food Donation
Every month CHP collects goods to support
those in need.
This initiative has as partners
Junta de Freguesia do Lumiar and
CASA (Centro de Apoio ao Sem-Abrigo).
Teaching Portuguese to Foreigners
A project that began in 2021, Teaching Portuguese to
Foreigners aims to support the integration of migrants
through training, offering the opportunity to take the
first essential step towards a good adaptation, which is
knowledge of the language.
Mastering the language brings the possibility of making oneself known and to make themselves known and express themselves, to be able to understand andinformed, and fundamentally the opportunity to develop professionally.
With the support of IEFP and the Qualifica Centre -
Agrupamento de Escolas do Algueirão - we guarantee the
certification of the students. This is an initiative that is constantly developing and open to all migrants of all nationalities. The opening of new activity cycles is announced regularly.
Service Center of AIMA
at the CHP premises
Comunidade Hindu de Portugal, as a Private Institution of Social Solidarity and Public Utility aims, among other things, to promote activities within the scope of support for social and community integration and support for immigrants.
​
It is in this context, and following our previous involvement in the organization of the concerted action to combat the Pandemic, providing our facilities for the formation of the Vaccination Center, that we have once again made ourselves available to continue collaborating with the Public Administration in carrying out such an important mission and in everyone's interest.
Sustainability
Comunidade Hindu de Portugal has sustainability as one of its guiding pillars for a future of progress, innovation and unity. Thus, we established a partnership with EDP Comercial, which resulted in the installation of a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption in October 2021, producing 104.7 MWh/year of solar energy and reducing energy consumption by around 40%.
