The Sisters of Mary opened their Brasilia Girlstown program in 2002, which serves to educate young girls aged 12-18 years old from grade 6 to 9 ; girls coming from the poorest of poor families throughout Brazil. From a chaotic early life, the girls at Brasilia Girlstown can begin to enjoy their childhood, regain their health, thrive at school and learn the skills they need to build a productive future for themselves and their families.
The girls at Brasilia are energetic and are encouraged to enjoy a variety of activities. They receive full-time care, three regular meals a day, full healthcare support and have access to onsite facilities which include vocational training workshops, sports facilities, a large gymnasium with a stage and a dental clinic that provides support to the girls at school and the local community.
All of this is only possible through the generosity of people like you. Every child deserves a good start in life and with your help we can continue to make this a reality.
