Visit & Learning Exchange
Members of ‘Feto Forte, Futuru Forte’ Association visit Casa Vida
A group of members of ‘Feto Forte, Futuru Forte’ Association visited Casa Vida for a learning exchange on support for women and children affected by violence and donated manual breast pumps and medical supplies for mothers in our care.
They visited Casa Vida to learn more about our work and to better understand the support we provide to women and children affected by violence.
During the visit, the team also shared their own experiences of working with women and children affected by violence, including the challenges they have encountered and the ways they have supported and encouraged them throughout their recovery. The exchange gave both sides a chance to learn from each other.
They also showed their support through practical donations — manual breast pumps and medical supplies that help mothers monitor their health and check for possible infections, strengthening everyday care in the shelter.
