The mission of GASTagus is alert and encourage young people to discover and promote human dignity through volunteer activities in Portugal, Brazil and Africa.
GASTagus does not create any costs to the partners who receive us on the ground, nor to the volunteers who leave on mission. A volunteer, to go on a mission, must, through his team work with the other volunteers, fund his trip. This is also a form of preparation.
Currently, GASTagus is present in five countries:
Since 2009, have been sent more than 400 volunteers trained during the “A Caminhada” (The Way) .
Each team is composed of a leader who has been present on the ground and who facilitates contact with the partner. The rest of the team is composed of volunteers who will have the first project experience.
GASTagus sends volunteers from the most diverse fields of training, since medicine, engineering, economics, management and psychology to the international mission. In this way each volunteer adds value to the community where he is inserted in mission.
The funds raised are exclusively to cover the travel and stay of the volunteers, to not create burdens for the partners. To start an international volunteer mission for a month are required € 1,100 per volunteer:
