My story

Gabriel is a 4-year-old boy. He has 3 siblings and lives with them at home with both parents. His mother has known the work of the EZB all her life. From the age of one she attended childcare, later she participated in youth activities and nowadays she participates in the program of the community center together with her children. In addition, she works part-time for the municipality, where she is responsible for keeping the street clean.

Gabriel 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.
