My story

My name is João Lucas, I am attending the 5th year of Elementary School I in the morning shift. In the afternoon I participate in classes at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. I live with my mother, my father and my two sisters. In my free time I like to play football and play. My favorite subject in school, physical education and my favorite sport is soccer. I support the football team called Flamengo. I love the futsal classes that the NGO offers, as I like to play with my friends. I also enjoy the bakery classes as I can learn several different recipes.

João Lucas 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.
