Françoise Hanoul

Françoise Hanoul is the founder of Aldeia Inclusiva, a non-profit social solidarity association dedicated to supporting people with disabilities and special needs in the Monção region. Motivated by her own experience as the mother of a young person with autism spectrum disorder, she acquired 3.5 hectares of land to establish an inclusive community. Her vision is to create a nurturing rural environment where individuals with disabilities can develop their capabilities, achieve their life goals, and experience genuine social and professional integration.
