"I dream of being a forest engineer. As she doesn't live with my mother, what makes me happy is when I see her on weekends and spend special moments with her. I am also happy when I am in contact with nature and feel the fresh air. "

My story

My name is Yuri Cristoffer de Oliveira Salvador and I'm 8 years old. I was adopted by a friend of my biological mother and I don't have much contact with my father. I am attending the 3rd year of Elementary School I in the afternoon and in the morning I participate in the activities of the NGO New Generation Brazil. My favorite subject in school is Portuguese language. In my free time I like to play puzzles, play cards and I like to visit my biological mother. I support a football team called Flamengo. My favorite class at the NGO is futsal, because I love playing soccer.

Why Yuri Cristoffer needs our help

The student Yuri has a troubled family history, in which he does not live with his biological mother. He was adopted by a friend of his mother's. The father is serving time in the regional prison. This whole situation influences Yuri's behavior. He does not have cognitive difficulties, but many behavioral and psychological problems. Therefore, the institution wants to invest in his future and contribute so that difficulties are overcome and he succeeds in all areas of his life. The institution offers psychiatric and psychological follow-up, as well as interventions with the psychopedagogue. In view of this, we want to continue to accompany its growth and contribute to its integral development. We know that through the educational, social and professional activities that the NGO Nova Geração Brasil offers, Yuri will have better conditions and opportunities to enter the job market or Higher Education, ensuring that he has a future of success and achievements.

Yuri Cristoffer 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.
