Project Report | Nov 29, 2022
Our project has finished sucessfully!

By Karl Robert V. Johnsson | President of Instituto Dom

Last monthly meeting with the entrepreneurs
Last monthly meeting with the entrepreneurs

Last October 31st, we had our 9th and last meeting with the entrepreneurs from the Rocinha community who are part of this project! We also delivered the last basic food baskets on that day. Strictly speaking, the project is over, however the entrepreneurs decided to hold a last get together event in December, so we still have this last activity! 


On October 31, we held an activity with the entrepreneurs that required them to take an assessment test, participate in a discussion forum, provide data regarding the number of posts they had made on Instagram and furnish some other information. This was all on our new e-learning platform, which we are developing, on Moodle (www.sisdom.com.br/lms). The activity also served to test things on this new platform and also served to evaluate the entrepreneurs. An interactive ranking using gamification was also active on the platform and got the entrepreneurs excited to see who got higher in the ranking. Some of these activities will also help us pick the final winner of the R$1,000 prize we promised a few months ago for the project's outstanding entrepreneur. On the 31st, we decided that this prize would be divided into 2 winners, one getting 60% of the prize and the other 40%.

In all, this project to support sole mother entrepreneurs from Rocinha reached its objectives. We were able to help the entrepreneurs grow their businesses and some saw increases in income. Others noticed greater sustainability and solidity in their businesses. In the final conversations with the entrepreneurs, we also noticed greater empowerment, greater maturity, a sense of conquering. Perhaps more importantly, we saw in some entrepreneurs a greater vision of the medium-long term, a greater vision of what is possible and a greater perception that dreaming is allowed because there are people willing to support. 

Your support was fundamental for this project to happen during these 9 months! Thank you! We had 9 months of basic food baskets being delivered, the entrepreneurs underwent training, mentoring, they received donations in kind worth R$ 1,350, they listened to lectures, learned about formalization as MEIs, had access to other courses and possibilities, and more! Finally, we provided our entrepreneurial support so that they could grow and advance their small businesses! And our entrepreneurial support does not end here. We have been telling them that we will remain close by, they will now be part of the IDom community along with other entrepreneurs, they will continue to receive content, access to our new platform, they can continue to receive mentorships and guidance. We've only just begun...! Thank you once again!

No dia 31/outubro passado, tivemos nossa 9a e última reunião com as microempreendedoras da comunidade da Rocinha neste projeto! Entregamos as últimas cestas básicas também neste dia.

À rigor, o projeto foi finalizado, mas as empreendedoras decidiram fazer um último evento de confraternização e conclusão, no mês de Dezembro, portanto ainda temos essa última atividade para fazer.

No dia 31/outubro, realizamos uma atividade com as empreendedoras que exigia que elas fizessem uma prova de avaliação, participassem de um Forum de discussão, informassem um dado referente a quantidade de postagens que elas tinham feito no Instagram e completassem algumas outras informações. Isso tudo estava em nossa nova plataforma de ensino à distância, que estamos desenvolvendo, no Moodle (www.sisdom.com.br/lms). A atividade serviu para testarmos algumas coisas nessa nova plataforma e também serviu para avaliar as empreendedoras. Um ranking interativo usando gamificação também estava ativo na plataforma e deixou as empreendedoras agitadas para verem quem subia mais alto no ranking. Algumas destas atividades também servirão para nos ajudar a determinar a vencedora final da premiação de R$ 1.000 que prometemos alguns meses atrás para a empreendedora de destaque. Nessa reunião do dia 31, decidimos que esse pêmio seria dividido em 2 vencedoras, uma ficando com 60% do prêmio e a outra com 40%.
Ao todo, esse projeto de apoio a empreendedoras da Rocinha atingiu seus objetivos. Conseguimos ajudar as empreendedoras a crescerem seus negócios e algumas tiveram aumentos de renda. Outras perceberam maior sustentabilidade e solidez em seus negócios. Nas conversas finais com as empreendedoras, também percebemos um empoderamento, uma maior maturidade, uma sensação de conquista de espaço. Talvez mais importante ainda, vimos em algumas empreendedoras uma maior visão do médio-longo prazo, uma maior visão do que é possível e uma maior percepção de que sonhar é permitido pois há pessoas querendo apoiar.

Ao todo, o seu apoio e sua doação foram fundamentais para que esse projeto pudesse acontecer durante esses 9 meses! Obrigado! Foram 9 meses de cestas básicas sendo entregues, as empreendedoras passaram por capacitação, por mentorias, receberam doações em itens no valor de R$ 1.350, ouviram palestras, aprenderam sobre formalização como MEI, tiveram acesso a outros cursos e possibilidades, e mais! Enfim, providenciamos nosso apoio empreendedor para que elas pudessem crescer e avançar cada vez mais em seus negócios! 

E na verdade nosso apoio empreendedor à elas não termina aqui. Falamos para elas que continuaremos próximos, elas agora farão parte da comunidade IDom junto com outras empreendedoras, continuarão recebendo conteúdos, acesso a nossa nova plataforma, podem ainda receber mentorias e orientações. Enfim, apenas começamos...!

Mais uma vez Obrigado!
