A revolution of love

IN BRAZIL

The "Revolution of Love" is a powerful force for spiritual and social transformation, creating a safe haven and a path to self-sufficiency for children and mothers in the East Zone of São Paulo.

Safe Saturday Haven: We welcome an average of 80 children (ages 3–14) every Saturday morning for dynamic programs including worship, Bible teaching, and games, ending with a complete, nutritious lunch.

Empowering Mothers: We equip women for economic independence through a weekly crochet course and new breadmaking classes (utilizing a commercial oven), fostering community and generating income.

We are seeing a revolution on the hill: kids who were once on the streets are now actively involved, showing visible changes in behavior, including greater respect and less aggression.

The project strengthens families and offers mothers dignity through valuable vocational skills.

CURRENT NEEDS

Expanded Meals: We need to increase the weekly budget from $55 to $90 to serve breakfast and provide fruit after lunch, ensuring children start the day strong.

Facilities & Equipment: Funds are needed to renovate the kitchen, buy additional tables, and purchase essential supplies for the expanding baking course.

Future After-School Program: Support the long-term dream of expanding into a full after-school program providing three meals a day, tutoring, and vocational workshops. This expansion is envisioned to integrate elements of the BRIDGEPOINT model for holistic, six-day-a-week support.
