VV Action Florianópolis R$ 149.90

Florianópolis is famous for its beaches and natural beauty; is the capital of the state of Santa Catarina with just over 500,000 inhabitants, and is considered one of the most beautiful cities with the best quality of life among Brazilian capitals. In contrast to this scenario, last year the capital reached its most serious level of economic inequality in the last decade and, in 2021, still has more than 120,000 people below the poverty line.

With that in mind, we teamed up with the NGO Vivendo e Aprendindo, which is a social project founded in 2017 that serves children and adolescents between 6 and 14 years old. The NGO operates in the areas of sport, art and culture in two communities in Florianópolis: Maloka and Vila Aparecida. The objective of the project is to generate opportunities and improvements in the quality of life of the children and adolescents assisted. Its team is made up of volunteers who carry out primarily care work for children and adolescents who live in situations of social vulnerability.

VV is guided in all its actions by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the global agenda adopted during the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development in September 2015. There are 17 goals and 169 goals to be achieved by 2030.

For this program we work with the following SDGs:

- SDG 4: Quality Education

- SDG 10: Reduction of inequalities

- SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
