What Is Projeto Crescer?
This is no ordinary learning facility. It is a home to many children who live in poverty and haven't had the easiest of lives. The Projeto is their hope; it is their gateway to the possibility of future success. Families that can't afford to give their children a good education are provided with an opportunity to change their lives for the better. The Projeto children learn new things every day, such as Arts, Math, Language, Computer Science and so much more. They are also provided with meals twice a day, as well as a safe place to learn and play.
Wania Howard, the Projeto founder, had the dream to provide others with better education and a chance at happiness her whole life. MORE |
