"My dream is to become a police officer. I also want to travel and get to know the Netherlands. What makes me happiest is playing with my brother, swimming and enjoying yummy sweets. "

My story

My name is Pedro Lucas and I am attending the 3rd year of Elementary School I. I live with my mother, my father and my brother, who also studies at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. My favorite subject is Arts. I study in the morning at a municipal school and, in the afternoon, I participate in the NGO's activities. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bike and playing with my brother. I support the Flamengo football team. My favorite class at the NGO is sports, because I can play soccer with my friends and practice several different modalities.

Why Pedro Lucas needs our help

Pedro Lucas is very polite and a little shy, and receives support and accompaniment to develop his confidence and overcome the challenges of everyday life. We noticed that, since the student started participating in the project, he had speech delay, which caused difficulty in communication and interaction. Over the months, with the stimuli offered, the student began to interact more. In view of this, the institution wants to invest in the intellectual and emotional development of the student, offering the necessary support so that he can grow and learn fully. We believe that, through the classes and monitoring offered by the institution, Pedro Lucas will develop educationally and professionally, becoming a young person qualified for the job market or Higher Education, achieving a promising and successful 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.
