Azores, Portugal

Many areas of the Azores are stricken by poverty in the underdeveloped Islands which rest in the Atlantic Ocean. The location of the land makes it vulnerable to severe weather and the lack of natural resources makes it difficult for Azoreans to make enough money to care for their families.

Care For Children began relief work in the Azores at the beginning of the 21st Century when one of our sponsors recognized an overlooked need for emergency and poverty relief services.

CFC sponsors in America work together to prepare over-sized Care Packages filled with clean clothing, non-perishable food and daily essentials which are sent to needy communities throughout the Azorean Islands.
