My story

My name is Pedro Lucas dos Santos, I'm 9 years old and I'm attending the 3rd grade of Elementary School I. I live with my mother and stepfather. I really like to study and my favorite class is Portuguese Language. I study in the morning at a municipal school and in the afternoon I participate in the activities of the NGO New Generation Brazil. In my free time I like to watch television at my grandmother's house. She lives next door to my mother's house and I spend a lot of time at my grandmother's house. I support a football team called Corinthians. I like the homework and reinforcement, playground and bakery classes that are at the NGO, because I learn a lot of new things.

Why Pedro Lucas needs our help

Student Pedro Lucas has been facing significant challenges in his family environment, which has impacted his emotional and academic development. His mother has problems with addictions, which has generated a series of difficulties in the family dynamics, in addition, the student does not know his biological father. Every family history has affected not only the student's emotional stability, but also their routine and school performance. In view of this, we want to invest in Pedro's future, so that he can change his current reality and be able to walk a path of success and achievements. Pedro is accompanied by the institution's psychiatrist and uses medication so that he can be calmer and concentrate on his daily activities. We know that the presence of an unstable environment can have consequences in the formation of social bonds and the development of emotional skills, so it is very important that the NGO's professionals continue to accompany the student, because we believe that through the classes that the institution offers, Pedro Lucas will develop educationally and professionally, becoming a young person trained for the job market or Higher Education, achieving a promising future.

Pedro 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.
