The Project — A Home with Purpose — Your Support Can Change Lives

What if you could help the world, starting with a home?

Hello! We’re a young couple with two small children and a big dream in our hearts: to leave this world better than we found it.
We know the world is full of challenges, but we also believe, deeply, that each person carries within the power to spark change.
And that’s why, with humility and hope, we reach out to you today.
With your support, we want to bring a simple yet powerful idea to life: to create a home that welcomes those who arrive… and gives back to those far away.
Through this innovative business model, we aim to host travelers while helping make the world more just, more humane, and more conscious.

How It Works
This is more than just a housing project — it’s a model of sharing, purpose, and heart. It’s not just an investment: it’s a mission to transform overnight stays into solidarity, comfort into commitment, and profit into meaningful donations. Because tourism can be more than a pause — it can be a push for good.

Our Plan
With your support, we plan to purchase a plot of land with two houses in southern Portugal, in the village of Vila Nova de Cacela, Algarve. One house is ready to welcome guests. The second will be lovingly renovated to ensure beauty, comfort, and energy efficiency. We commit to donating 30% of all net profits generated from the rented homes to humanitarian and environmental causes, for a minimum of five years.
  • The Renovated House Will Include:
  • 3 cozy bedrooms
  • Fully equipped kitchen
  • 1 bathroom (plus plans to add a second)
  • Private garden
  • Access to a shared pool with the main house

Planned Renovations
  • Full kitchen remodel and open-space layout with the living room
  • Renovation of the existing bathroom
  • Construction of a second bathroom
  • New flooring throughout the house
  • Painting of all interior doors
  • New windows for better thermal and acoustic insulation
  • New furniture for the entire house
  • Purchase of modern, energy-efficient appliances (fridge, oven, stove, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.)
These improvements will ensure a high-quality, welcoming, and sustainable stay for all guests.

Prime Location
The house is located in one of the most authentic and sought-after areas in the Algarve:
  • Near top-rated international golf courses (Benamor, Quinta da Ria, Monte Rei, Castro Marim)
  • Just minutes from Cacela beach — named one of the best in the world by Traveler magazine (Spain edition), located in the Ria Formosa Natural Park
  • Close to peaceful beaches with wide stretches of sand and calm sea
  • Cacela Velha recently received the "5-Star Regions Award" for villages
  • Surrounded by excellent restaurants and leisure options
  • Near Ria Formosa, one of the richest biodiversity areas in Portugal
It’s the perfect setting for travelers seeking peace, nature, and authenticity.

Profit with Purpose
The demand for quality tourism accommodation in the Algarve is high.
This ensures strong potential for financial return — consistent, sustainable, and aligned with ethical values.

Donations with Purpose: Merging Sustainability and Solidarity
We will donate 30% of net profits annually to:
  • 50% Humanitarian causes: organizations working with refugees, children at risk, hunger relief, healthcare, and education.
  • 50% Environmental causes: NGOs focused on nature conservation, ocean protection, pollution reduction, and environmental education.
We’ll support reliable and transparent organizations — both in Portugal and globally — and provide full accountability to our supporters.

Complete Transparency
Every euro donated will have traceable impact. We will publish quarterly reports detailing total income and distribution, supported organizations and donation amounts, stories of impact and measurable results. You’ll be able to see exactly how your support is helping change lives and protect the planet.

Funding Goal
To bring this project to life, our goal is to raise €950,000. This amount will cover: property purchase, renovation works, legal, fiscal, and hosting preparation costs

“Friends of the Home” Community
By supporting the project, you’ll join our exclusive Friends of the Home community, gaining:
  • Behind-the-scenes updates on renovations and management
  • Transparent donation and financial reports
  • Online gatherings to share ideas and stories
  • Invitations to events and special Algarve experiences
  • Opportunities to suggest improvements, supported causes, and more

Why Support This?
This isn’t just a hospitality project — it’s a chance to be part of something greater. Every stay helps someone who doesn’t have a place to stay, food to eat, or access to care. Together, we can prove that it’s possible to create a beautiful, sustainable, and profitable space — and at the same time, change lives.

That’s why we’re inviting you to be part of it.
Because we believe you, too, care about a fairer, kinder, and more conscious world.
Together, let’s show that investments can have purpose, that tourism can have heart, and that one simple home can make a difference — every single day.

No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.
