About Luz Para Todos
A community of volunteers and professionals united by one mission — bringing light to every Cape Verdean.
From Volunteers to a Registered NGO
Since 2017, a dedicated team of volunteers has worked alongside the Ministry of Health to serve the communities of Cape Verde. Through more than 20 medical missions, we have reached thousands of people in remote areas such as Brava, Fogo, Praia, Assomada, Tarrafal, and Santa Cruz, providing essential healthcare to those who need it most.
After years of volunteer service, our efforts were officially recognised with the establishment of Associação Luz Para Todos – Santa Cruz in February 2024, registered under NIF 596850492 in Cape Verde. Today, we continue our mission to empower communities through health and education with even greater structure and reach.
