General Information
Our non-profit association has many years of existence in international level, but just a few years here in Portugal. Our main fundings are donations and fundraising events. We are in the process of establishing parternships, and creating local projects and activities to fulfill or mission and objectives in Portugal. It is registered with 9 people as its main body, but we work with many volunteers which help in different tasks, and even go abroad for participating in other projects.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to help improve the quality of life for the poor and disadvantaged people of the world, and to assist the victims of natural and man-made disasters.
We seek local solutions.
We believe that the best assistance is that which encourages and enables all people to develop themselves. Hence we help individuals and communities to harness their own resources for securing the basic necessities of life and for gaining greater economic, social and spiritual fulfillment, while respecting their customs, language, and religious beliefs.

Main Projects / Activities

In Portugal, AMURT is just getting started, so we are now in the phase or elaborating our first national social service project. Besides that, we have been constantly giving support to international projects, through fund-raising events and raising awareness in the masses.
Since 2006 we have been running a national project of "distant-adoption" for supporting poor children in India.
