Tonight, a child will sleep safe here. That depends on people like you.
We are a social assistance program run entirely by volunteers. We shelter children and teens placed under protective measures and support families in extreme vulnerability. The city agreement covers salaries and rent only — everything else comes from donations.

Our projects run on donations, events, and volunteer work.
We receive no funding to cover the costs of Mãos Solidárias and PAE: everything comes from selling handicrafts made by the mothers and volunteers, from events, and from the generosity of donors.
