Why Volunteer in Child Development?
Helping in child development is undoubtedly the most beneficial way to increase the life chances of children living in a country with one of the most pronounced wealth gaps in the world. As a volunteer for one of our partner organizations, you will work with children from favelas, providing them with the essential attention, support and guidance needed for healthy child development.
As a part of the program, your objective is to provide children with the care and attention needed to develop their social skills, to encourage them to develop an enthusiasm for higher education, and to teach vital skills to be competitive in a rapidly developing economy.
