The "Sara Nossa Terra Lagos" is established in the Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos area of Lagos. This area is an integral part of the city's urban fabric, situated within one of its residential developments. Its location allows for integration into the daily life and local environment of Lagos, in an area that reflects the city's community life.
With a history spanning a quarter-century, "Sara Nossa Terra Lagos" is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted communities in the Algarve region. Over the years, it has served as a meeting and sharing point, initially for Brazilian citizens, and currently, with increasing participation from Portuguese individuals, reflecting the cultural diversity present in Lagos. This longevity highlights its integration into the local social and cultural landscape.
"Sara Nossa Terra Lagos" distinguishes itself through its significant social commitment, developed through the Fonte de Vida Institute, an institution established in 1994. Its work covers various areas of support, focusing on the prevention, recovery, and reintegration of individuals facing addictions. It also includes the reception and reintegration of former inmates, as well as the provision of accommodation for those in situations of greater vulnerability.
In addition to these initiatives, the Institute is involved in the collection and distribution of essential goods such as clothing, toys, appliances, and food, relying on the support of the local population. It also emphasizes investment in younger generations through activities that promote healthy lifestyles, from cleaning and planting initiatives to workshops on financial literacy, theater, music, and sports, thus fostering an environment of growth and well-being for the community's children.
