Emaús is a social and humanitarian NGO based in Caneças and present on four continents. Our goal is to fight the causes of poverty.

Emmaus is a decentralized movement in which each group bases its activities in its local reality. In Caneças, there are between 15 and 20 permanent companions who live in a community following the values of the movement: welcoming, sharing and working.

– We welcome without distinction of religion, culture, ethnicity, political color, any companion who needs and agrees to share community values.

– Because we can’t live looking out only for ourselves, we give to needy families free of charge; we sell basic necessities at affordable prices; we value the best products through restoration or upcycling in order to finance solidarity projects.

– We don’t accept subsidies. Through their recovery, recycling and restoration work, each companion rejected by society becomes an actor of solidarity, contributing to a more sustainable world. We work for our needs and share with those who need most.
