Nurturing Hope: The Transformative Power of Give Back School in Rio de Janeiro

At Give Back School in Rio, staggering 86% of our students face the harsh reality of growing up without both parents.

This is why it is fundamental for us to offer more than just daily education.
Witnessing the impact of our project has strengthened my belief in the importance of providing structure, role models, and parental guidance to these young lives.

Whether separated, lost to drugs or alcohol, or killed in the streets, single parenthood is extremely common in favelas. As a result, our children’s journeys are marked by adversity.
Despite these challenges, we are committed to crafting an environment where every child feels not only educated but safe, nurtured, and loved.

Our school goes beyond textbooks and classrooms; it becomes a second home for those who may not have one. The absence of two parents in the lives of our students underscores the need for positive role models and a supportive community.

We believe that education goes hand in hand with emotional well-being, and our approach reflects this commitment.
The teachers, mentors, and staff collectively become the extended family that many of our children lack.
