This project aims to raise funds for Casa da Família as to allow them to acquire needed equipment and tools, as well as to develop leisure and educational activities with the children/adolescents living there.

Casa da Família is a shelter kept by SOCIEDADE VOLUNTÁRIA DE ASSISTÊNCIA AO MENOR – SVAM (Volunteer Society for Assistance to Minors). It was founded in 1996 as an association to work in defense of social rights of children and adolescents in personal and social risk situations.

Its President is Mrs Ana Kelma Sousa da Silva Ballerio, who is a Pedagogue. The Association is registered at the Social Assistance City Board, the City Board for Children’s and Adolescents’ Rights, and the Social Assistance National Board.

Casa da Família is a temporary “shelter” for poor children and adolescents that have suffered any kind of violence, abuse or abandonment. Children and adolescents remain there for different periods of time depending on each specific situation. Currently there are around 50 children and adolescents there. At the shelter they are offered assistance services according to the federal, state and local laws. Casa da Família offers its sheltered an environment similar to a house and full protection which includes: accommodation and meals; guidance and support; access to public and private services (education and health); workshops (socialization, dance, arts, reading, recreation) and trips; hygiene orientation programs; varied courses; family reinstatement and substitute families in cooperation with lawyers and Law interns, and through Justice.

 


Every little thing will make a change!
