The Center was founded in 1999 to serve children and youth in socially vulnerable situations and/or in conflict with the law through programs and socio-educational projects.
The project Cri-Ação Gepeto, a BrazilFoundation grantee in 2005, has developed carpentry workshops and created various partnerships, benefiting over 200 children. The Center seeks to change the lives of children and youth with integration, respect and dignity, by showing them that each person is responsible for their own actions and their own future.
