Founded in 2016, EduMais is a nonprofit organization based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our mission is to provide quality education to underprivileged children and teenagers in the Pavão-Pavãozinho and Cantagalo and Tabajaras favelas.
Although they live in impoverished conditions, these at-risk young people have too many talents and potential to go to waste. EduMais offers them the opportunity to build a brighter future away from violence, drugs, and social inequality.
Our educational programs empower students with essential 21st-century skills such as English, entrepreneurship, digital literacy, and life skills. All of our classes are rooted in Positive Discipline and a trauma-informed approach, helping children not only to learn but also to heal and thrive emotionally.
As well as developing their academic abilities, all of our programs employ Positive Discipline to support our children’s social and emotional learning. We want them to have the social and life skills necessary for success.
Given the disadvantaged circumstances of our children, access to our educational programs is always free. A team of dedicated volunteers and a close partnerships other NGO’s like Solar Meninos de Luz school allow EduMais to operate on a true low-cost model.
Nevertheless, to make our programs possible, EduMais relies on the generous donations of both individuals and organisations. With your support, we can continue to transform the lives of these wonderful young people with the good education they deserve!
