The winning institutions of the 2018/2019 Missão Continente Donation initiative were finally disclosed, amongst which the amount of 240.000€, raised through the 2018 solidary gifts Christmas’ campaign, will be distributed.

After a preliminary online public vote, during the month of December, the 179 applications were evaluated by a specialized jury, that analyzed all projects in depth, regarding their pertinence, relevance, coherence, sustainability and adequacy to the proposed target-audience.

The jury, composed of National School of Public Health of NOVA University Lisbon (ENSP-NOVA), Portuguese Association for Hospital Development, Directorate General for Health, National Program for the Promotion of Healthy Eating, Nova School of Social Sciences and Humanities and GRACE - Group of Reflection and Support to Corporate Citizenship, selected 12 institutions whose projects’ core developing areas are healthy eating, fighting food waste and social inclusion.

The amount attributed to each institution ranges from 14.000€ and 26.500€, depending on the necessities of each project and will allow to put into practice ideas such as the creation of composting centers and greenhouses for bio-agriculture, the psychosocial reintegration of mental handicapped people through culinary workshops or the creation of a restaurant that will employ workers in need of asylum or refugee status, amongst others.

Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Missão Continente continues to promote projects and initiatives that are innovative and change-promoters, meeting the needs of the present society and having sensitization and mobilization as its performance focal points.
