"I dream of becoming a great doctor. I really want to travel to the Netherlands and I also want to visit the beach. What makes me happiest is playing with my siblings and enjoying a good stroganoff."

My story

My name is Sophia Lara and I am attending the 2nd year of Elementary School I in the afternoon. In the morning shift, I participate in the activities offered by the NGO New Generation Brazil. I live with my mother, father and brothers, who are also part of the institution. In my free time, I like to play with dolls, pike and play basketball. My favorite sport is basketball, and I'm a Flamengo fan. My favorite class at the NGO is bakery, because I learn several delicious recipes and I love the teacher. At school, I really enjoy math classes, as I love doing math and solving calculations.

Why Sophia Lara needs our help

Sophia is very charismatic and affectionate, making friends easily. However, she is very needy, as her family has a history of strong geniuses and family conflicts, which makes Sophia feel emotionally affected. The institution wants to invest in Sophia's emotional and psychological development, providing the necessary support so that she can overcome these difficulties. In addition, the NGO Nova Geração Brasil wants to contribute to her positive development and academic success. We know that, through the educational, social and professional activities that the institution offers, Sophia will have better conditions and opportunities to enter the job market or Higher Education, ensuring that she has a future of success and achievements.

Sophia Lara 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.
