How We Transform

Education as the foundation of transformation

In the Transformation Centers, children and young people aged 4 to 21 take part in socio-educational, cultural, sports and vocational activities that develop technical and human skills.

Beyond the Centers, Amigos do Bem supports municipal schools with pedagogical management, renovations, teacher training, meals, uniforms, learning materials, school transport and resources that help reduce dropout.
