Recoding Brazilian Favelas

Dear GlobalGiving Supporter,

Because of your continuous support, the dream of bringing world-class technology education to the Brazilian peripheries (the quebradas) is not just alive; it is thriving and gaining national recognition!

We are thrilled to share our latest milestones with you. From global tech leaders visiting our headquarters to our students taking the stage at major innovation events, your donations are actively transforming lives and creating the next generation of tech leaders in Brazil.

Here is what we have achieved together over the past few weeks:

National Recognition: Top 30 Businesses in Brazil & AI Innovators. We are incredibly proud to announce that Mais1Code was recently selected as one of the 30 best businesses/NGO in Brazil and recognized as a standout initiative in Artificial Intelligence with real social impact! We are proving that AI and high-level innovation do not just belong in corporate centers; they are also born in the alleys and communities of the periphery.

Global Connections: The Founder of inDrive Visits Jardim Pantanal. The world is taking notice of our "silent revolution." We recently had the immense honor of hosting the founder of the global mobility app inDrive. He traveled across the world to visit our headquarters in Jardim Pantanal, walking our streets, meeting our youth, and witnessing firsthand the talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that thrives in our community when given the right opportunities. We also had the pleasure of hosting Ambassador Rodrigo Silva and his team, who came to see the real-life impact of our tech programs on the ground.

Powerful New Corporate Partnerships: CADMUS & Edenred. To ensure our students are ready for the jobs of tomorrow, we have joined forces with major industry players:

• Edenred Brasil: Together, we launched a complete Artificial Intelligence training program. Our youth will dive deep into machine learning, multimodal AI, automation, and intelligent agents, alongside soft skills and English.

• CADMUS: We are implementing our signature "Gold Methodology" with Cadmus to provide a complete professional development journey, connecting strategy, technology, and execution.

Taking the Stage at Major Innovation Events: Our students are no longer just attendees; they are protagonists! We recently took the power of the quebrada to the São Paulo Innovation Week, where we connected with investors, startups, and leaders, proving that talent is everywhere. We also hit the main stage at the Itaquaquecetuba Careers Fair, where our very own Tauan Matos shared his inspiring journey with Mais1Code, showing hundreds of other young people that a career in tech is possible for them too.

Looking Ahead: The 2026 Ambassadors Meeting at Oracle! On July 20th, we will host one of the most important moments of our year: the Mais1Code Ambassadors Meeting 2026, held in person at the Oracle headquarters in São Paulo! This event will celebrate the incredible journeys of our outstanding students, featuring inspiring talks on AI, career growth, and social impact.

Thank You for Believing in Us! We recently launched a new campaign aimed at impacting 400 new lives through professional training and tech education. Every class, every new partnership, and every young person placed in the job market is a direct result of a community that believes in our mission.

Thank you for being a vital part of this journey. Together, we are not just teaching code; we are rewriting histories.

With deep gratitude,

The Mais1Code Team
