Challenge

Nearly 30% of Rio's population resides in favelas, where low-quality infrastructure and poor living conditions are the norm. With limited access to primary education and job training, local nonprofits and entrepreneurs struggle to find the resources and support they need. Your donation can make a vital difference, providing essential skills, structure, and opportunities for those who need it most.

Solution

We believe that the residents of Rio's favelas have the answers to their community's challenges. Our mission is to empower them with mentorship, tools, and essential skills to launch, sustain, and expand local nonprofits and social impact ventures. Located right in the heart of the favela, our hub connects them to a vast network of city-wide, national, and international resources, expertise, and opportunities.

Long-Term Impact

When social projects and entrepreneurs in favelas gain independence from government aid and low-wage jobs, they become the architects of their own futures. This empowerment boosts community morale and fosters innovation, leading to sustainable solutions that protect children from violence and enhance quality of life. By supporting these initiatives, we ensure that vulnerable families receive the care they need, stimulate local economic growth, create job opportunities, and reduce disparities
