O Projeto Riza
What we do
At O Projeto Riza Animal Sanctuary, we rescue, rehabilitate, and provide lifelong care for farmed animals in need. Our mission is to offer a safe and loving home to those who have been neglected, abandoned, and mistreated.
Beyond rescue, we aim to educate and inspire compassion for all living beings. Through our events, community outreach, and digital content, we share the stories of our residents to raise awareness about the individuality, animality, and agency of all animals.
By supporting O Projeto Riza, you help create a world where all animals are valued and respected.

Rescue
Rescue is at the heart of everything we do. We provide a second chance to animals used for farming who have suffered neglect, abandonment, or abuse. Each rescue is a story of resilience and the will to live, and we work tirelessly to ensure they receive the medical care, nourishment, and love they need to heal.

Education & Awareness
Education is what creates lasting change. At O Projeto Riza Animal Sanctuary, we share the stories of our residents to raise awareness about the realities of farmed animals and inspire a more compassionate world.
By educating others, we hope to create a future where kindness and respect extend to all beings.

Events & Community
Bringing people together is a big part of our mission. Through events like sanctuary open days, and the Coimbra Vegan Market, we hold spaces for people to connect, learn, and build a world that honors and respects all animals, including humans.
Our events raise awareness, build community, and generate crucial financial support for the animals in our care.
