The Residents of O projeto riza

At O Projeto Riza, we provide a safe and loving home for rescued farm animals who have escaped exploitation and suffering. Each resident has their own unique story; some were saved from the meat, dairy, or egg industries, while others were abandoned or injured. Here, they can live in peace, free from harm, surrounded by care and respect.

But our work doesn’t stop with those who are already safe. We fight for those who are still trapped in exploitation, raising awareness and advocating for a world where all animals are recognized as individuals, not commodities. Every life matters, and we won’t stop until all are free.

WHO WE ARE

Oprojetoriza is a community-driven sanctuary run by a dedicated group of volunteers. United by compassion, we work together to rescue, care for, and advocate for farmed animals in need. Our team is made up of people from different backgrounds, all sharing the same mission: to create a kinder world for all beings
