Community Associations

Residents in The Bairro da Cova da Moura tend to actively participate in community initiatives promoted by cultural associations that keep Cabo-Verdean connections alive. Research has shown that active community-based cultural engagement, even under hardship, is a positive factor that tends to generate better health outcomes. [Inês Varela-Silva]
