500 children like these live in a very poor community in the state of Bahia, N.E. Brazil...
So why do these kids look healthy and happy?

Projeto Crescer is the answer...

Projeto Crescer was founded in 2000 to provide these children with the education and environment they need to flourish. Rather than having to deal all on their own with the instability of unstructured families, the uncertainty in a community overtaken

Please give our children the gift of Hope!
 Projeto Crescer is a not-for-profit organization; IRS# 83-2604041
