"I dream of traveling and getting to know Disney. When I grow up I want to be a police officer. What makes me happy are my teddy bears and when I eat pasta. "

My story
My name is Sophia Cristina and I am attending the 4th grade of Elementary School I. I live with my mother, my father and my sister. My favorite subject is Arts. 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 movies and play with my sister. I support a football team called São Paulo. My favorite class at the NGO is leisure, because I can play with my friends on the playground.Why Sophia Cristina needs our help
Sophia has faced significant challenges in her family environment, which has impacted her emotional and academic development. Her parents went through a period of separation, but they have already managed to reconcile and are back together. However, the mother has faced difficulties due to a problem in her leg, which has affected her mobility and, consequently, impacted some daily activities. These factors have influenced Sophia's performance, which needs psychiatric follow-up and medication to better deal with some situations.
Given this, we want to invest in Sophia's future, so that she can transform her reality and walk a path of success and achievements. It is essential that the NGO's professionals continue to accompany Sophia, as we believe that, with the educational support and opportunities offered, she will develop the necessary skills to become a capable young woman, ready for the job market or Higher Education, achieving a promising future and overcoming her difficulties.
Sophia Cristina 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.Sponsor Sophia Cristina
