In the charity's own words
Cape Verde in Need will provide relief from poverty and financial hardship by providing and assisting in the provision of food parcels, hot meals, personal items, clothing, bedding, school supplies and grants. Alongside this we will enable young people to participate in healthy recreational activities that they could not otherwise afford. This will be by providing sports coaching.
