WHO WE ARE
Super Heroes 4 kids Associação, is a non-profit humanitarian association, having been incorporated on December 19, 2019 with headquarters at Rua Conde de Avelar, Nº 10, 2420-642 São Martinho do Porto, and we intend to start the our activity at Armazém da Refer – S. Martinho do Porto train station, which we are still recovering with the support of volunteers and some private entities.
Super Heroes 4kids started in 2014 in the United States of America, after learning of the story of a man known as “Baltimore Batman” who went around hospitals dressed as Batman to support and visit hospitalized children in recovery or terminal stages.
Our organization is known worldwide and has already visited children in hospitals, recovering or terminally ill in several countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Turkey, Holland, France, England.
Palavra do Presidente
Pedro Machado
We decided to stand out in Portugal – São Martinho do Porto, because I, Pedro Machado, co-founder, am the son of Portuguese parents who emigrated to the United States of America, from the Alcobaça area. I am proud to be Portuguese and I love Portugal.
We want to make our space, the children's space in order to give them a unique space with their superheroes, relax, have fun and essentially smile, because there's nothing better than seeing happiness stamped on their face when they see us dressed of superheroes.
There is nothing like a superhero to make a child smile and bring some happiness on a different day and time.
Our goal is to visit and support children who are admitted to hospitals fighting for their lives on a daily basis, as has been done all over the world until today. After a year of struggle, we managed to go to the IPO in Lisbon, but we intend to reach many more hospitals and institutions with the support of all the companies and organizations that decide to support and collaborate with us.
We are part of a worldwide organization known as SUPER HEROES 4 KIDS and our goal is to bring joy to children who are in recovery.
We cannot take away their pain or illness, but in those brief moments we managed to bring them an indescribable happiness that infects everyone, from parents, doctors, nurses and all of us.
