My story

I'm Robert and I'm 14 years old. I am attending the 8th grade of Elementary School II in the morning shift. In the afternoon I participate in the activities at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. I live with my mother, my father and my older sister, but I have 3 more siblings who live in another city. In my free time I like to watch action movies and play with my friends. My favorite subject is Arts and my favorite sport is soccer. I support the football team called Flamengo. I really like the cooking and tutoring classes that the NGO offers, as I can learn a lot.

Why Robert Tadeu needs our help

Robert is very affectionate and lively, but he has some difficulties in the teaching-learning process. Robert has an intellectual disability and faces family problems, as his mother struggles with drinking addictions. Faced with this situation, the NGO Nova Geração Brasil wants to invest in its future, offering support and opportunities for it to progress and develop, overcoming adversity and reaching its potential. Robert needs to receive help with psychiatric consultations, psychopedagogical and psychological support to deal with his limitations and develop fully. That is why it is so important for the NGO to offer ongoing support and closely monitor the student's progress, ensuring that they have all the tools they need to overcome challenges and reach their potential. The NGO Nova Geração Brasil believes that Robert can achieve his goals and therefore will contribute to his integral development, offering educational activities and professional courses, so that he has better opportunities to enter the job market or Higher Education, following a path of success and achievements.

Robert Tadeu 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.
