Walk with us.

We are Associação Comadres, a women-led sanctuary in Aljezur, Portugal. We shelter women and their children seeking sanctuary from domestic violence, run a community apothecary and library, and build a network of care across the western Algarve.

Everything we do is made possible by people who choose to walk part of the way with us.

There's no single right way to give. There are six!
