"My dream is to become a police officer. I would also love to travel and spend a few days at the beach. What makes me happy is going out for ice cream. I love jumping rope and playing with my sisters. "

My story

My name is Ester Silva de Carvalho and I am 7 years old. I am attending the 2nd year of Elementary School I in the afternoon and my favorite subject is Portuguese Language. In the morning I participate in the activities at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil and my favorite class is bakery and I have already learned how to make several recipes for cakes, sweets and cookies. I live with my mother and two sisters. My father lives in a distant neighborhood and every 15 days I spend the weekend with him. In my book time I like to play with my sisters, watch cartoons and dance. I support a football team called Flamengo.

Why Ester needs our help

Ester is a very affectionate and gentle girl, but she has a complex family history. His mother has already been hospitalized for having problems with alcoholism. This situation may have generated emotional imbalance in the student, since she had to deal with this situation at such a young age. Given this, we want to invest in Ester's future and change her reality. The institution, through activities in the socio-emotional sphere, wants to monitor Ester's development, so that she overcomes her emotional traumas and has psychological balance, contributing to her well-being. The student is very sweet, affectionate and kind, so we want to invest in her future and provide opportunities for her to overcome her difficulties and achieve success in all areas of her life. In addition, through the educational activities and professional courses that the institution offers, Ester will also expand her opportunities to enter the job market or Higher Education, becoming a qualified young woman who is able to make her dreams come true.

Ester is supported by impact partner Nieuwe Generatie Brasil

The New Generation Brasil Foundation was born out of the desire to offer underprivileged children in Brazil a better future. We believe that every child deserves equal opportunities. We do not stop at 'survival', but want to help the children/young people develop towards an independent and sustainable future by giving them (practical) education, with which they can later provide for themselves. Our vision is that a child can only learn and develop if it feels safe. That is why it is our mission to make this happen. We want to start by creating an environment where children feel safe and secure. Where they can really be children and develop and grow from the natural childlike interest. With the ultimate goal of offering a new generation of Brazilians the opportunity: * to develop, * to be able to make their dreams, potential and ambition come true * to be able to support themselves and their future family well.
