ANGOLA HUMANITARIAN MISSION

Date: since 2019
Place: Luanda, Angola

The Angola Humanitarian Mission began in 2019, developing activities at the Charity Work of the Saint Isabel’s Child (OCSI) in the areas of emergency education – including work with music, activities close to nature and training seminars -, dental care, psychological support clinic, therapeutic practices, maintenance of physical spaces and food reuse workshops, linking health and food.

In 2020, activities were expanded, with initiatives supported by the Jean Piaget University of Angola and the Camunga Symphony Orchestra.

In April 2020, the projects were stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The organization’s team continued on a remote basis, with training activities with teenagers and young people from OCSI, developing topics such as: human relations, non-violent communication, empathy and artistic expressions.

In 2022, the resumption of activities began. In July and August, the team returned to Angola to contextualize the current scenario and post-pandemic challenges being experienced by partner organizations, such as OCSI, Jean Piaget University, Cáritas of Angola and the National Institute for Health Research (INIS). On this occasion, educational and food safety activities were carried out.

Between November and December of the same year, a team of humanitarian workers was in the country resuming projects in four Intervention Sectors: Education in Emergencies and Humanitarian Responses, Humanitarian Training.

For 2023, the perspective is to continue the work, including a new sector of intervention – Means of Life and Durable Solutions -, deepening the implementation and reaching other provinces of the country.

2019

During the humanitarian mission that began in 2019, through altruistic service for the common good, humanitarian members strengthened ties with the Santa Isabel Children’s Charity Work (OCSI), but, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the face-to-face activities had to be suspended during the period from April 2020 to 2022.

2020

The team from Fraternity - Humanitarian Missions (FIHM) continued the training activities remotely, especially with teenagers and young people from OCSI. Topics such as human relations, non-violent communication, empathy and artistic expression were the keynote of the meetings held between July and December of that year, focusing on the promotion of mental health and healthy relationships.
