The Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation is delighted that ProChild CoLAB has been honoured with the Human Rights Prize 2023. The Assembly of the Republic jury unanimously recognised ProChild for its exemplary work in the fight against child poverty and social exclusion, highlighting its impact on public policies in defence of children's rights.

The Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation emphasises that the creation and ongoing support of the ProChild CoLAB is testimony to its mission to promote child welfare. The award ceremony took place on 13 December at the Portuguese Parliament, where ProChild CoLAB was honoured for its outstanding commitment to fighting poverty and social exclusion in childhood.

As part of ProChild's activities, the 1st International Meeting of ProChild CoLAB: "The Pact for Childhood" was also held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on 27 November. The Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation, a founding member of ProChild and a member of its Board of Directors, was one of the signatories of the "Pact for Childhood".
The Vasco Vieira de Almeida Foundation reiterates its ongoing commitment to the promotion and defence of children's fundamental rights and congratulates the ProChild CoLAB on this well-deserved recognition.
