“Project Sun has at its main goal the integral education and the interior transformation of the children and youth entrusted to their care, through which they become people whose Faith in God is profound and unshakeable, capable of directing their lives with dignity, love and solidarity.”

WHO WE ARE
Projeto Sol is a community-based organization that serves children of the favela, aged 7 to 17. We are guided by the belief in the dignity and freedom and human potential of each child, and we inspire our children to rise to the challenge of friendship. We demonstrate, through immersion in the beauty of art, the enchantment of dance, the enthusiasm and joy of sports, and the fantasy of books, that children can summon their imaginations and creativity to dream of new lives for themselves and others in poor communities. Finally, we teach our children to envision for themselves lives in which justice and peace will reign.
