Associação de Beneficiência
Luso-Alemã (ABLA)
The ABLA project was born in the heart of a group of German Christians at the beginning of the 80s. They had visited an area of African refugees in the neighborhood of Jamor valley in Lisbon. After their visit campaigns were begun immediately with fund-raising in Germany. Donations began to arrive to the needy families living not only in Jamor valley and in various poverty-stricken areas of Lisbon.
The Association was registered in Portugal on February 9, 1984 in the Daily Republic; and recognized as a public agency. The city of Cascais welcomed the institution in its county with land property. In 1985 its headquarters and the Children’s Social Center was built. In 2005 the institution was awarded a Medal Hall of Solidarity. The Social Security Institute (ISS) signed a memorandum in support of children and youth and has been the largest financier of the institution throughout the years. Innovation, dedication, hard work, modesty and endeavor have been the goal of ABLA.
I can only quote the Apostle Paul who said “God gives freely and generously so we ought also to give freely and generously,” this is the Institution’s motto. Presently our desire is to build a “network” for a better society. Our society is the growing and experiencing growing pains and fighting against social exclusion, domestic violence, early school drop-outs, drug addiction, juvenile crime and the isolation of the elderly. Your involvement in this endeavor is imperative; and we welcome you to stand alongside side of us.
