About Institution
20 years of experience
We currently reach over 700 schools, 18 thousand teachers, and 400 thousand students
In Brazil, over 80% of school-age children in the country rely on public schools, and students learn little: 7 out of 10 15-year-old students cannot solve simple math problems such as converting currencies or doing proportionality calculations. And this shapes the future of the country. The path to reducing inequalities and achieving a fairer and more equitable future for everyone is by investing in education.
We have an ambitious and consistent plan to transform this reality by 2040, and we need your help to get there.
Impact
We operate at all levels: at the school level, regionally, municipally, and statewide. We support students, teachers, principals, school administrators, technical teams from districts and municipalities, and public officials.
