Guidance, healthcare and income generation for families in Capão Redondo

Instituto Projeto Sonhar provides social, spiritual and health services for people in accordance with the circumstances in which they live. They work on an integrated level to help families from the Capão Redondo region of São Paulo lift themselves out of extreme poverty.
