corporate 24 November 2021

“Famílias GRACE-Madeira” is the name of this project that results from the awareness of the impact of inter-company collaboration and social economy in the community.

The initiative seeks to “provide support to low-income families identified with children and young people who show motivation, commitment and ability to continue their studies, in order to provide them with equal opportunities in accessing quality technical, professional and higher education, promoting their entry into the labor market as fulfilled citizens and useful to society”*. Associação Onda Solidária and Presença Feminina – Associação de Apoio à Mulher are GRACE local partners in this goal.

“The support to be provided by GRACE-Madeira Cluster will be complementary to the public support available and suitable for the socioeconomic situations of the families, being primarily directed towards the preparation and education of children and young people in their areas of vocation, talents and life projects.”

GRACE is a non-profit public utility business association that operates in the areas of Social Responsibility and Sustainability.
