It’s called “Ser no Mundo” ( meaning “to be in the world”) and it’s a humanitarian project that has been running in Tanzania for two years, led by a NOVA student. It was in 2021 that António Sá Rodrigues, a finalist in the Philosophy degree at NOVA FCSH, was granted permission to enter a public school in Tanzania and bring his project of personal development, mental health and sport to thousands of students.
He is now promoting a fundraising campaign to provide them with lunch every day – and also to distribute reusable sanitary pads to the students.
At the beginning of May, the Desconforto Crescente association launched a petition for the Ser no Mundo project, reminding everyone that a donation of just two euros can change the life of one of these children.
