We would like to share our efforts and contributions to the organization called Associação Despertar Saboeiro. Through our dedicated team and the support of generous donors, we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those living in the Favela Sol Nascente.

One of our key activities is the collection of donations. (I am offering pick-up) We rely on the kindness and generosity of individuals who graciously contribute various items such as clothing, household essentials, toys, and more.

These donations are then carefully cleaned, organized, and prepared for distribution and then delivered to the community in need. We use everything, even clothes with holes, but still useable. We understand the importance of providing essential items to individuals and families who may be facing economic challenges, and we believe in the power of solidarity and compassion.

Once or twice a month, we embark on a meaningful journey to the Favela Sol Nascente, delivering the collected donations to those who can benefit from them the most. This allows us to establish a direct connection with the community, understand their needs better, and provide support in a tangible way. We believe that everyone deserves access to necessities, and we are committed to making a difference in their lives.

In addition to our regular efforts, we also organize an annual yard sale. This event serves two purposes: it provides an opportunity for us to raise funds to support our ongoing operations, and it allows the community to purchase donated items at affordable prices. The yard sale is a fantastic way for us to engage with the wider community and raise awareness about the needs of those living in Favela Sol Nascente.

If you would like to get involved, whether through donations or any other form of support, please reach out to us. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a significant impact and bring hope to those in need.

Our next goal is to build a school! Currently they are doing it in a very small space which we could renovate a little bit. Thankfully we could raise money to get some chairs, tables, shelves, whiteboard, and kitchen supplies etc.

Thank you for visiting and for your interest in our work. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the people we serve!
