Children in the Legal Amazon region now receive around a hundred books a year to encourage reading and education. Brazil is a beautiful and large country, but it is very unequal and the education indices are the worst in the region that Vaga Lume supports. Despite our partnerships with public authorities, we still have a high demand for a presence in the country, and we need to reach strategic places that are difficult to access.

Despite our partnerships with public authorities, we still have a high demand for a presence in the country, and we need to reach strategic places that are difficult to access.
Our goal is for recurring donors to understand that to make a difference in Brazilian education, they only need to give a dollar a day. Or even less, just send an e-mail to debora@vagalume.org.br and find out more.
By promoting qualified access to books and reading, Vaga Lume creates reading habits in Amazon children, helping them to achieve mastery in reading and writing skills - basic tools to citizenship. Only with a better quality education, children can expand their perspectives and opportunities so as to realize their full potentials and be protagonists of their lives. "The Vaga Lume' library and its books are really cool! At times, we do not have much to do, so we'll meet there to read." Ingrid,13.
