TOGETHER, WE TACKLE THE CHALLENGES OF THIS QUARANTINE

By Carolina Selles | Marketing

For over 100 days, we’ve been on quarantine. For over 100 days, Compassiva suspended its face-to-face activities: LAR program's Portuguese classes for refugees, Life-changing Workshops program's meetings for women living in Liberdade, Dojo program's jiu-jitsu training for teenagers living in our neighborhood… We really miss being with these folks.

Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that we sat idle before such a challenging situation we're living now. We have been mobilizing to meet emergency needs which are increasing on account of the pandemic. Thanks to donations from partner organizations and generous people, we’ve been offering support to hundreds of people.

If wars and persecutions take people away from their homes, work, family and country, we will be the hug.

Thousands of people seek refuge in Brazil and we want to be the support for those who have, in front of them, a new language to learn and many challenges to strengthen their stories.

If we are the foreign soil of those looking for better life prospects, we want to be home.
