the project
gramachinhos

We are a non-profit institution that has been operating since 2013 in the region of the old Jardim Gramacho landfill, which was the largest landfill in Latin America and was deactivated in 2012. With the end of the landfill, a pocket of misery was created, as The collectors and their families who earned their income from the landfill no longer had anything to support themselves.

Given this scenario, our proposal is to bring education, professionalization and permanent actions to combat hunger. We work every day offering meals to more than 300 children, sports, art and culture classes, tutoring, as well as technical course proposals. All with the aim of bringing empowerment through education and nutrition.

Our NGO does not receive government aid nor does it have political associations. We survive exclusively through donations from people who want to impact the lives of the most vulnerable.
