AMIGOS DO BEM TOWNS
With more than 33,000 m2 of buildings, these towns house people who used to live in mud houses with no resources. They are also major centers in which our main projects are developed. More than 3,000 people live in Amigos do Bem Tows and inhabitants of other villages work, study and receive medical and dental care in our towns centers.

PROJECT HOUSES
The most needy families from the villages that are assisted by Amigos do Bem are selected to receive a new house, which is built in their own region. Hundreds of families who used to live precariously in mud houses, with dirt floors, received homes, delivered furnished and with complete trousseau. After moving, they receive periodic visits from volunteers, who instruct them the coexistence with the new habits and also accompany each family.
