Uma Causa Por Dia 2023 - Scholarships for 50 Afghan students
"One Cause a Day" is a 100% voluntary movement that brings together two illustrators (Diana Reis and myself) and several celebrities, ONG and social projects.
Through the sale of illustrations, picture postcards, books and other artistic works, we bring these causes together with everyone who generously wants to contribute to the fundamental action of each of these ONG and Projects.
Afghanistan is the only country where women are banned from studying.
Since December 2022 there were around 100,000 Afghan girls and women banned from continuing their studies, among many other violations of human rights, such as not being able to work, walk or travel.
The Portuguese organization Nexus 3.0, with the support of Uma Causa Por Dia, and in collaboration with official entities and several Higher Education Institutions, developed a 3-year scholarship program to receive 50 Afghan higher education students , in Portugal.
To date, thanks to the contributions of hundreds of people, we have already raised a total of €75,796 for more than 20 wonderful projects and non-profit associations.

Uma Causa Por Dia 2021 - Solidarity Illustration Book
"One Cause a Day" is a 100% voluntary movement that brings together two illustrators (Diana Reis and myself) and several celebrities, ONG and social projects.
Through the sale of illustrations, picture postcards, books and other artistic works, we bring these causes together with everyone who generously wants to contribute to the fundamental action of each of these ONG and Projects.
In 2021, with 7 new organizations chosen to support, we wrote and illustrated a book that brings together the action of these 7 ONG in a single narrative: the story of little Leonor who was faced with the inequalities of the adult world and who finds an organization who struggles to mitigate them.
In a campaign with a duration of 3 months, the book "Uma Ca(u)sa Por Dia" was sold, along with several the new illustrations that you can see here, and this action resulted in raising €15,000 in revenue for the 7 ONG supported.
To date, thanks to the contributions of hundreds of people, we have already raised a total of €75,796 for more than 20 wonderful projects and non-profit associations.
