The country’s second largest city and cultural capital, Mindelo, birthplace of the singer Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora, harbours one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Its economy is mainly based on tourism, and was severely affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Mindelo has one of the highest unemployment rates in the archipelago and major social problems due to the economic insecurity of families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its social centre (day centre, training centre, management of a family strengthening programme, emergency shelter, etc.) and its support for vulnerable families in Mindelo, SOS Children’s Villages in Cabo Verde has become a major player in child protection in the region and has addressed a wide range of issues (education, professional integration, housing, shelter for homeless children, family strengthening, Covid-19, etc.) through its various programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div>
