Vision for the children of Brazil took shape in response to reports of thousands of street children being systematically exterminated by gunmen.
An estimated 7 to 10 million children live on the streets of Brazil (UNICEF) and 18% of Brazil’s street kids are biological orphans, 82% are social orphans who flee home because of abuse, neglect or violence. On the streets a child’s life expectancy is 3 to 7 years. 7,000,000 abandoned children live on the streets of Brazil.
Program:
The children are rescued and provided immediate emotional support, psychological and medical care. The children are guided through educational programs and vocational coursework, within the context of family life. The young men and women intern in local businesses for a year and live at a transition home for six months. Around the age of 18 at graduation, each student is guaranteed a job and is given ongoing support through the
Graduate Center.
