Education and opportunities for life

A long-term investment in the future of children and their communities.

Tourism-focused English classes, school supplies, educational activities and sports tournaments that open opportunities for children and young people in the Amazon. It includes the English pilot project carried out in 2023 and 2024 with partner institutions.

Food and child nutrition

Good nutrition is essential for growth and learning.

Breakfasts and food days for children, supported by our nutrition team, because no one can learn on an empty stomach.
