My story

Artur is a 6-year-old boy. He has 1 sister and lives with both parents. His mother participated in the activities of the community center as a child and is now involved in the social meeting and family strengthening program. Artur needs surgery. However, his parents do not have the financial means to pay for this treatment themselves and have been on the waiting list for a free operation since he was three years old. When his symptoms return, he often gets a high fever. As a result, he cannot go to school or participate in the activities of the project.

Artur is supported by impact partner Wijkcentrum Rio Vermelho

In the Community Center, a child is given the opportunity to grow, discover talents and look to the future with confidence. It finds a safe place where it is seen, encouraged and supported in its development. Through educational, social, and Christian activities, a child learns new skills, builds self-confidence, and discovers his or her own worth. Sports, music, creative workshops and lessons about health, norms and values help the child to develop in various areas. In addition, the Community Center focuses on strengthening families, promoting respectful relationships and protecting children from abuse and violence. In this way, it contributes to a safe environment in which a child can grow up and develop. With your support, you not only give a child access to activities and guidance, but also hope, opportunities and a solid foundation for the future.
