To prevent young people from leaving their hometowns in hopes of finding a better future in big cities, it is necessary for them to have access to schooling and vocational training in their region.
Having a good education is a top priority for any professional activity. Being literate is also the foundation of any social life. It is a fundamental right, but it is not yet sufficiently respected.
This is why our association has been led to build schools in very remote areas of several Brazilian states.
All the children who attend our centers, daycares, or orphanages are in total or partial family breakdown. Without our help, the future of some of these children would be seriously compromised. Many of them are at risk of falling into delinquency and violence. Several centers have been built in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, and Bahia.
These centers are managed by Brazilian volunteers who spend all their time finding ways to feed and clothe the children. Therefore, they have too little time and resources left to acquire educational materials.
This is where we support them the most, as manual work, as well as cultural and sports activities, are essential for the development of children.
Several training workshops have also been built and equipped for training in screen printing, sewing, carpentry, electricity, as well as nursery and horticulture.
We aim to offer young people training that closely reflects the economic reality of the country.
