Mission Statement
We mobilize international volunteers and global partners to break the cycle of poverty through education. Volunteer Rio de Janeiro. Real work. Real results. The real Rio.
Description
Project Favela is an organization that uses education as a tool in hopes of creating opportunities that could change the lives of others within the communities of Rio de Janeiro. We believe that only education can break the cycle of poverty and make dreams possible. For us education is the only passport to a real future. A bright future. A future that these children most certainly deserve and have a right to. We create and manage educational programs that are unique and one of a kind here in Rio. We have a very creative and effective teaching system especially designed for Brazilian children of the favela. A curriculum that is diverse, creative, and both challenging and fun. Our goal is to provide educational programs that are sustainable, comprehensive and very effective. This is is our fight on the ground in Rio. We want our children in our classrooms to be enthusiastic learners, children excited about learning and education, dreamers that propel into higher education.
