What drives us

Strengthening lives,
one action at a time.

Associação Renascer para Salvar (ARESA) is a legally established nonprofit organisation in Angola. We create opportunities for children, young people, women and families facing vulnerability.

Our story began with concern for community needs and a desire to turn solidarity into action. Through the Amar Community Centre, we promote education, training, health, culture and community development. We aim to go beyond providing assistance by creating opportunities for people to transform their own lives.

Serve God

Service and faith guide our journey.

Serve families

Serve our nation

Our mission

To save lives, restore hope and advance social and human development through education, vocational training, health, culture, social inclusion, entrepreneurship and family support. We work with communities to identify real needs and develop sustainable responses.

Our vision

To be a leading organisation in Angola and internationally through social projects that promote human dignity and create opportunities for everyone to grow, learn, work and live with hope.

Investing in education
is investing in the future.
