"My biggest dream is to be a professional soccer player. I also want to travel and get to know Portugal. What makes me happy is having my family and playing futsal with my friends. I am also very sorry to have the opportunity to be a student at the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. "

My story

My name is Wenderson dos Santos and I am 16 years old. I am in the 3rd year of high school. I live with my mother and my two younger brothers, who are also part of the NGO Nova Geração Brasil. In my free time I like to watch television, YouTube videos and watch action movies with my mother. She is my best friend and I love spending special moments with her. My favorite subject is physical education. I support a football team called Corinthians. I like all the classes that the NGO offers, but my favorite is Futsal. In 2024 I was part of the institution's team and we participated in a championship, it was an incredible experience.

Why Wenderson needs our help

The family moved to another state to try a life with more opportunities, so we want to invest in the student, so that he can have a promising and prosperous future. Wenderson presented difficulties in the teaching-learning process and was monitored by the institution's psychopedagogue. Throughout the sessions, the student managed to overcome some barriers and overcome difficulties. In view of this, we believe in the student's potential and we want to continue investing in their future and progress, so that Wenderson appropriates the knowledge and achieves a great placement in the job market or entry into Higher Education.

Wenderson 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.
