Saint Francis Centre is a charitable non-profit organization registered with the Federal District of Brazil (DF) under the state registration number 27.762.116/0001-14. It provides care for 35 children between the ages of one and five years old. It is located in an extremely poor neighbourhood in Brasilia called Estrutural which was near Latin America’s biggest open-air landfill at the time. The centre is based in a small rented room 12 m by 8 m only. The majority of children are from single mothers who have been through difficult circumstances and are struggling to make a living, including victims of domestic violence and homeless mothers.
The St. Francis prepares the vulnerable children in the best possible way prior to starting a school. The philanthropic centre also supports their parents, in particular the single mothers so that they are able to work and make a living. Unfortunately, there are no state benefits available for these vulnerable children or for the single mothers.
The Saint Francis day care centre is passing through a lot of financial difficulties due to Coronavirus Pandemic and desperately needs your support to make both ends meet.
