How we operate
Education
We support and contribute to the development of public policies for age-appropriate learning, with a focus on eradicating school illiteracy and building schools that can engage our adolescents, reduce inequalities, and promote the holistic development of each student throughout their educational journey.
Leadership Development
We connect networks of people and foster partnerships dedicated to social impact, encouraging leaders who reflect the country’s identity to continue enhancing their skills through training programs and projects that drive their journeys.
Together, in 2031, we will
End school illiteracy
95% of children achieving literate by the end of the 2nd year of Elementary School.
Multiply the presence of high-impact leaders
by offering high-quality training programs, we aim to ensure that 5,000 qualified people are serving in strategic positions, 40% of whom are Afro-Brazilian and 50% women.
Boost 9th-grade learning
in the school networks participating in our initiatives, by 60% in Portuguese and 45% Math.
Ensure universal access to high-speed internet
by connecting every school to strengthen school administration and student’s learning.
A fairer Brazil is built through networks
We believe that, to achieve social transformation, there must be collaboration. Thus, through strategic partnerships, we seek to strengthen these cooperation networks, promoting innovative solutions and enabling tangible progress, in order to build a real impact ecosystem — a dynamic space where different players, with complementary roles, are interconnected to face the most urgent challenges of our country.
