In this moment of global crisis motivated by the pandemic of COVID 19, we are in daily contact with people from all over the world and we are touched by the way it has affected everyone, not only in health, but economically, emotionally and in so many other fronts!
Thus, taking proper care of our team and the surroundings that make up our daily functioning, does not seem enough. We were constantly wondering how we could further contribute.
We then decided to donate thousands of fabric masks and, to put the action into practice, we chose people who are being truly affected, economically and emotionally; from the ones making the masks to the institutions that we will benefit.
The selected institutions are already known to us, as well as their proven integrity.
The Anglican Institute has the largest daycare center in the country and not only welcomes 1,000 children from Paraisópolis, but also contributes to their families and the community’s unity to keep everything running.
AFATEC assists 80 registered families (more than 200 children and 55 elderly people) and a huge community in one of the most discriminated and underprivileged regions of São Paulo.
The “Constelação do bem” emerged after the pandemic to help homeless people and very needy people. In its first 40 days of operation, it distributed 20,000 lunch boxes, more than 2,500L of water, 1,000 soaps, blankets and opened the “Cozinha do Bem” (Kitchen of Good) at the Community of Heliópolis.
We take this opportunity to express that we are deeply grateful to our customers and suppliers for believing in our work and it is thanks to their support over the years that we can now experience our values in practice with this small action.
Access the institutions’ websites and learn more about the work they have been doing for many years. It is worth it!
