Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

We aim to prepare 100 people per year for the job market by giving them professional courses and tools they need to generate income and sustain their families. We also want to replicate the model.

Project Message

"If we don't treat a person as a whole, we simply won't be efficient: not on the diagnosis, not on the treatment, and not on the recovery."
- Vera Cordiero, Founder and CEO

Latest Update from the Field

news from one of our beneficiares

By Mariana Velloso - Fund raising coordinator, September 30, 2009 02:57 PM

T.S was an exceptional student during her time at the professionalization project in Saúde Criança Renascer. She has 3 children and is expecting another one. Due to her effort during her time at the courses, we built her a beauty saloon in her house. Another company partner of one of our sponsor gave her the furniture for her saloon.
She is working there and already has clients. In her words:” Now I am very happy and can say that my dreams came true, I have a profession and the best for me, is that I know now that I can support my children with my work. ”Before that she said that she cant do that specially for her second son that is diabetics.
For her its important to crab all the opportunities in life and that is what she did with the help of Saúde Criança Renascer
You can see her picture and her beauty saloon attached.
Thanks for all our donors so far.Without them we cant keep our quality and our good results
