``Girls by day, whores by night``
Jorge Crisafulli is a missionary who goes out every night with a bus through the streets and highways of Sierra Leone, to offer shelter, schooling, psychological care and food to girls forced into prostitution. If they are mothers, he also offers help for their children’s schooling. To date, he has already saved more than 200 girls from the age of 10 from prostitution.As an NGO, we financially support Jorge and his project “Girls by day, whores by night” so that he can continue to watch over the girls and young women of the marginal areas of Freetown (Sierra Leone) so that they grow up to be free women and live with dignity. .
Comedor social “El Gregal”
We collaborate with the El Gregal soup kitchen in the neighborhood known as “La Mina” (San Adrià del Besós) so that they continue to fulfill their motto: “Nobody leaves here without eating, no matter where they come from”.El Gregal offers food to more than 150 homeless families daily, in addition to preparing lunch boxes and food packs so that people at risk of social exclusion who do have a roof over their heads can cook them at home.
