Educar Project 2019 – Saladillo (Paraguay)

The Educar Project will still continue in 2019 and it will consist of three main initiatives.

For 2019 we need further contribution to finance scholarships for young campesinas of Saladillo (the daughters of local farmers) which are essential to give them a future without hunger and poverty.

In 2019 we still want to help the poorest families of the Quezon area in the Philippines.

The Centro Educacional Emilie building, which hosts the children of the Coreia favela, requires constant restructuring.

Children who do not have the opportunity to attend the Centro Educacional Emilie, where our Educar Project takes place, unfortunately spend days and days without eating. So, in 2019 we want to go on offering them concrete help through several initiatives.

The Educar Project also continues for 2019 and it will mainly consist of three initiatives.

In 2012 the Foundation made a donation to Project IDIOFA, to help and support communities in some very poor villages in Congo.

The Foundation’s initiatives are not confined only to South America. In fact, a project was implemented in 2012 in the Philippines to help undernourished children.

In Salvador de Bahia there is an Acopamec Centre for single mothers. They are hosted in small houses or tiny flats where they live together with their children. They have the opportunity to study and manage some shops, including a bakery and a hair salon, where they work.

In the past, the Foundation helped this community by building 4 wells and by funding the purchase of seeds to revive cassava plantations and vegetable gardens.

Project Educar was the first project created and funded by Novacaritas since the Foundation’s creation in 2011. It provides study grants and, in a broad sense, schooling projects in Brazil, Paraguay and Italy.

Established in 2014, this project funds a school for the Chiquitanos Indios who live in Brazil, almost at the Bolivian border. A “hut” has been converted into a school with several classrooms, and a refectory has been created.
