Improving State High Schools

Before young people move into the job market, the last few years of their learning are critical. This project will equip their schools with the necessary tools.

In Brazil, public high schools are managed by the State Governments. With this arrangement, challenges arise regarding  the guarantee of equal access and quality education. At the same time, more and more employers are demanding high school diplomas, and also highlight  the lack of qualified work-force as an obstacle to fill positions. Viva Rio understands that quality education influences heavily on anyone’s placement within the job market. Therefore, in this Social Action will benefit two High Schools, refurbishing and adapting their study spaces so that the students can learn more efficiently.

“By investing in high school students, we are investing in the future of our workforce"

How OMEGA will help

Benefitting 1300 students every year, the aim with this project is to improve study conditions for students in two secondary schools within the city of Rio de Janeiro. It will provide them with equipment and furniture that will be useful to both their education and their teachers.

The total renovation includes refurbishing of their common areas and purchasing equipment for the installation of a reading room in one of the schools. This includes computers, air-conditioners, new study desks and tables.

Here's the scoop on Social Action #2 -

Bringing joy to young children

Every child needs space to grow. This project will support their development by providing equipment for recreational activities and learning.

One of the critical factors in early childhood care is strengthening family and community involvement. The aim of this project is exactly that, with the hope that it will promote complete development for every child.

The Program for Childhood Stimulus helps to expand the provision of healthcare in vulnerable communities. The support teams are made up of professionals who have proper technical knowledge, and in this case, they will be integrated within the Family Health teams. That way, we can promote the Complete Development for Early Childhood in line with governmental programs.

This Social Action will benefit over 1000 families in the area of Madre Teresa de Calcutá, in the Ilha do Governador neighborhood, located in the North Zone of the city.

How OMEGA will help

The space linked to the Family Health Program will be fully equipped to allow children to carry out recreational activities and receive a socio-cognitive stimulus that promotes proper development. The space will also be enabled to integrate families to ensure each child has support on every side.
