Institution

With more than five centuries of existence, Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa is a private-law institution of administrative public utility that has guided its work within the community by defending invaluable social values, with an approach grounded in closeness, respect and the defence of good causes.

Our mission, since the founding of our institution, is based on improving the well-being of citizens in general, but particularly of the most vulnerable

We carry out deep and extensive work in several areas — Social Action, Healthcare, Education and Training, Culture, Heritage, Research and Innovation — and we promote and join various initiatives in the field of Entrepreneurship and Social Economy.
