Frequently Asked Questions
01. Who can benefit from the programs offered? We assume that all children and adolescents have the right to social protection and quality education. We must take care not to stigmatize people who live in the outskirts of cities, but their vulnerable situation is well known. Therefore, although our programs are open to all children and adolescents, we prioritize those aged 3 to 13 who live in the Parelheiros district. A vulnerable situation is understood to mean children and adolescents living in poverty, deprived of quality of life and lacking in the rights inherent to their human condition, especially those provided for in relation to education, food, sports, leisure, professional training, culture, dignity, respect for freedom and family and community life.
02. How is the NGO financed? Our main partners and supporters are the Andando Foundation: an occasional donor, a legal entity, that partially covers the cost of the programs, basically the payroll; the Rudolf Steiner Waldorf School, an occasional donor, a legal entity, that partially covers the cost of the socio-educational program, mainly the pedagogical part; and Semente Oré, which supports the purchase of food. We also have other social responsibility initiatives, individuals and legal entities, that partially cover the operational expenses. And organizations, Foundations and Institutes, such as the Mahle Institute, that support specific projects.
