At Foundation Nilza Varela , we recognize the pressing challenges faced by the resilient people of Cape Verde Islands. While we may find ourselves occasionally overwhelmed by the constant requests for assistance, we remain steadfast in our commitment to making a meaningful impact, one individual at a time. Our focus on housing and healthcare has laid a solid foundation, and with your continued support, we aspire to extend our reach and address preventive issues to create a healthier future generation.

Our current efforts primarily revolve around addressing immediate needs in housing and healthcare. By providing shelter and medical assistance, we aim to uplift the lives of individuals who lack these basic necessities. We understand that these fundamental aspects contribute significantly to overall well-being and dignity.

Looking ahead, we recognize the importance of preventive measures to ensure a sustainable impact on the health and well-being of the community. Our future initiatives will center around dental care, hygiene, and exercise, aiming to create a robust foundation for a healthier and more resilient population.

1. Dental Care: Establishing a dental clinic in the village of Vila Nova Sintra on the island of Brava. Conducting regular dental check-ups and awareness programs to promote oral health within the community.
2. Hygiene: Implementing hygiene education programs in collaboration with local schools. Distributing hygiene kits containing essential items to promote cleanliness and health.
3. Exercise and Well-being: Collaborating with local schools to integrate physical education programs. Establishing outdoor spaces and playgrounds to encourage physical activity and play.
4. Nutrition: Partnering with schools to provide healthy meals for children, ensuring they receive essential nutrients for their growth and development. Exploring sustainable agriculture initiatives to support local food production.

We believe in the strength of community collaboration and engagement. To ensure the success of our initiatives, we will actively involve local schools, community leaders, and residents in the planning and implementation processes. By fostering a sense of ownership within the community, we aim to create lasting and positive change.

With your continued support, Foundation Nilza Varela is dedicated to building a brighter future for the people of Cape Verde Islands. Together, we can address not only immediate needs but also work towards preventing future challenges, creating a sustainable and resilient community that thrives on health, education, and compassion. Thank you for being an integral part of our mission to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
