WELCOME TO

Brazil
Chapter

CCU Brazil Chapter are convinced from experience that change happens first at the community level, when a group of like-minded people are equipped and empowered to improve the lives and future of poor families. We also believe that change becomes lasting when we share the knowledge we gain and help partner organizations and governments reach out to people on a much larger scale. Since creating the CCU Brazil Chapter in January 2020, they have been consistent, going to some of the hardest places in San Paulo to help make sure change is sustainable.

What is our aim

Our aim is to support poor families and communities and conduct regular chapter meetings, and help to further promote and elevate the visibility of community outreach throughout the area.

What we do

CCU Brazil Chapter work with some of the world’s poorest people to transform their lives. We do this by transforming into action the concern of our global supporters, partners and the communities themselves. We work in a number of program areas, with particular focus on helping people get nutritious food and adequate health care, and strengthen their resilience to the effects of climate change.

How do we do it

– Working with families and communities directly and listening to their needs

– Combining their knowledge and experience to target the root causes of poverty, often through unorthodox approaches

– Develop programs that most often focus on women and children

– Implement solutions that can last and spread under the steam of the communities themselves

What we do

We work where we are needed most in response to extreme poverty. We focus our efforts on the most vulnerable families and communities and often some of the hardest to reach. Every year, we plan to reach out to several families in Paraisopolis, Tiradentes, Guianases, Brasilandia, Jardim Angela, Jardim Sapopemba, etc. We also target our humanitarian effort towards the centre of São Paulo, Heliopolis, Cracolandia and Praça da Se where there are high concentration of the homeless.
