Back to School Campaign kicks off - donate by Sept 4th

ACCA Kids and Castelo de Sonhos are once again appealing for assistance to ensure that children who often “do without” will, this year, have all they need to return to school. As well as the backpacks every child needs black exercise books, pens, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, A4 files, set squares, scissors etc.

This year, the need is bigger than ever, due to the effect of Covid 19, which has greatly increased the number of unemployed parents without the means to buy the necessities for their children.

Would you be willing to add some items to your shopping trolley to enable a child to start the term with a smile? From 21st August Continente and other shops will be stocking their BACK TO SCHOOL range.

Or if you prefer, a donation of 35 Euros will buy and fill a one backpack.
This is the IBAN number PT50 0079 0000 4342 6419 1012 2 (Associação solidariedade Crianças Carenciadas Algarve no. Contribuinte 506088090)

All donations will be given out at start of the new school year in September. There is an enormous need and all help will be very much appreciated.

School Materials and Backpacks can be delivered to the following Drop-off Points between 21st August - 4th September:-
