***ENGLISH***
We are excited to announce new initiatives, new projects and new possibilities ahead! And all of this is happening without major support from corporate and institutional donors. We began a challenge with our microentrepreneurs seeking to motivate them to daily register their financial numbers and monthly inform total sales and total costs. This simple routine will show them all that goes on with their small businesses and the income that they really receive from it. We are also beginning a project for microentrepreneurs which sporadically contact us wishing for support. This project will be called Dom de Começar and will offer the participants online training and individual mentoring. Finally with the support of 021Originals, from the US, we will begin supporting mother+teenager with online training, seed capital, mentoring and more. The teenager will receive training needed for new job opportunities while the mother will receive entrepreneurial training.
We are also finishing up the planning of an exciting project involving a small solar energy plant in a favela slum community in Rio de Janeiro and digital inclusion and entrepreneurial training. This is part of a grant opportunity we are participating in. The project will be submitted in the next few days and if we are awarded we shall begin the project in 2026. This is something new and exciting since if involves renewable energy and entrepreneurial training and social work for low income families in a low income community.
