Working in the poor favela areas of Rio de Janeiro, this project helps build the confidence and self esteem of the local people and improves their opportunities. Whilst helping you will be giving a great deal to the local community as well as making some life long friends along the way.



The Project operates from Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00. You may be working full time, but the schedule will vary according to the activities that you want to develop as well as availability. Usually volunteers work three full days per week and have Fridays off so that they get to have longer weekends to explore the local area.

Activities you are likely to get involved in are:

  • Developing more and better activities
  • Painting, drawing and playing games with the children
  • Teaching English and Art classes
  • Bringing new ideas to broaden the horizons and increase the self-esteem of the beneficiaries
  • Maintenance of the organisation’s premises.

Taking part in the project will immediately broaden your horizons due to the direct contact with people living in places and conditions very different from the ones you are used to. Your motivation and proaction will help you to work within little structure and resources to help benefit others.

  • All accommodation

  • Full on-site support and assistance
