A chain of solidarity against social exclusion
We fight social exclusion, hunger and violence through three complementary areas of work.
Families
Community support that strengthens family bonds and fosters coexistence in the Dona Lindu and Brisa neighbourhoods.
Education
Civic education, tutoring, workshops, guidance, courses and training delivered by a qualified team: teachers, doctors and psychologists.
Joy
A focus on the well-being and full protection of every child, so each one grows up in a safe, welcoming and hopeful environment.

Love in action since 2016
Associação Vinde a Mim, founded in 2003, runs educational programmes in the environment, human rights, health, digital inclusion and sports for socially vulnerable children and teenagers aged 2 to 17.
Our mission is to build awareness of reality so that each person can act as a true social protagonist.
Activities that transform lives
Educational, sports and cultural workshops that develop body, mind and citizenship.
Judo
Through judo, children and teenagers develop physical and intellectual skills, learning discipline, how to handle defeat and to value continuous effort.
Capoeira
A Brazilian cultural expression marked by agile, harmonious movements set to music and choreography that strengthen body and identity.
Choir
A relaxing practice that supports the learning of subjects requiring logical reasoning, developing cognitive skills linked to speech and singing.
Music
Stimulates areas of the brain that other languages do not reach, improving sensitivity, focus and memory — benefiting literacy and mathematical reasoning.
Theatre
Fundamentally important in education, it helps children act critically while developing creativity, coordination, memory and vocabulary.
Digital Inclusion
Hands-on computer classes: the teacher explains and the children immediately put theory into practice, preparing safely for the future.
Tutoring
Complements formal schooling and is considered essential by education specialists for each child's full development.
Workshops
Games and workshops that develop motor skills and encourage curiosity, self-confidence, autonomy and socialisation among the children.
