Background

Located within the second largest favela in São Paulo, Pró-Saber SP’s mission is to strengthen Brazilian children’s integral education through experiences in reading and playing.

Challenge

There are significant disparities in access to quality education in Brazil, with children in underserved communities facing substantial educational disadvantages. This inequality hinders the full development of these children and youth, limiting their future prospects.

Solution

Working against these disparities, Pró-Saber SP operates programming for young readers, teens, and literacy educators, as well as a community library serving over 8,000 registered users with more than 20,000 books. 80% of families participating in Pró-Saber programming report seeing a positive impact on their child’s reading ability.

🤝 Partnership Objectives
