Brazil - Don Bosco, Rio de Janeiro

The Salesians of Don Bosco runs the only school in the favela Jacarezinho and thus offer the community, and especially the young people, a place to strengthen themselves for their future. Thanks to the school lessons, the many different leisure activities, and workshops, they gain new confidence and recharge their batteries for life in the favela.

The Salesians and the staff of the Social Centre work with the parents of the beneficiary children and young people to develop strategies that make their daily lives easier in this difficult context.
