The Adote project was created as a solution to help children study in private schools. By "adopting" a child's education, the Adote project directs the funds donated to pay school fees at private schools. In 2022, the Adote project grew to include young university students looking for support to take the next step and find a dignified life for their families.
With the economic crisis of Brazilian families, many children and young people are unable to continue their studies. There is a lack of resources to keep children in private schools and a lack of places to keep children in public schools due to high demand. For young people, the lack of a quality education creates obstacles to accessing Brazil's highly sought-after public universities, while financial difficulties make it impossible to pay tuition fees at private colleges.
Donations made to the Adopt project will be invested in paying school and university fees. The payment of school fees helps children maintain their studies and benefits their families in situations of economic vulnerability as a relief to re-establish. The payment of university fees helps young people in situations of socio-economic vulnerability to enter higher education and seek a better future and a dignified life.
The Instituto da Crianca believes that investing in education is investing in a dignified life. Keeping children in school helps families in situations of vulnerability to re-establish themselves, as well as minimizing school dropouts and the overcrowding of public schools in Brazil. In addition, helping young people to go to university keeps them away from the risk of crime, creates more qualified professionals for the job market, and can change the history of generations of families.
