About Our Project
After-School Program and Environmental Education
Transforming lives through education
Encouraging holistic learning
An after‑school educational program for children attending public schools in Saquarema, offering sports, environmental, vegan, socio‑emotional, and bilingual educational practices.
Our aim is to create a diverse and inclusive learning environment that supports each child's holistic development, contributing to a more sustainable, equitable future rooted in their community.
Our Pilars
We go beyond “sustainable development,” advocating for “ecologically sustainable development.”
Through "liberating vegan education," we offer pedagogical tools to combat social inequality in education, based on innovation, democratic governance, and social responsibility.
Mission
Vision
Valores
To be recognized as an educational pioneer grounded in vegan values, offering an innovative, inclusive, globally replicable model that’s ethical and pedagogically excellent—promoting autonomy, solidarity, dignity, and capacity building for staff and volunteers—supporting the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
Our educational practices are environmental, non‑anthropocentric, anti‑speciesist, non‑utilitarian, and non‑accounting‑focused, built around affection, care, social commitment, solidarity, sustainability, ethics, justice, transparent governance, and organizational excellence. We aim to fight educational inequality and prepare children for an environmentally sustainable, socially just, and economically viable future.
"The school does not transform reality, but it can help form the individuals capable of transforming society, the world, themselves"
Paulo Freire
Pedagogical Plan
We believe that, today, in order to experience truly liberating education, any educational institution must be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Environmental and Food Education
We aim to teach, through everyday vegan food practices and nutritional guidance provided to the Will community, the importance of understanding food, the environment, and nutrition as foundational elements in building a fairer and more sustainable society.
Socioemotional Education
We believe it is essential to promote socioemotional education focused on students from public schools, using our time, space, and knowledge to fight social inequality through education.
Families as Partners Initiative
A program that aims to bring families into the NGO and assist them in carrying out various tasks.
Bilingual Education
A comprehensive English language immersion program designed to enhance the quality of life of our learners, reduce socioeconomic disparities, and actively promote intercultural exchange
Testimonials
Families share emotional stories about their experiences with the project, such as Carol, a mother who highlighted how the NGO supports mothers—providing time for their own projects while ensuring children are safe and thriving.
Depoimentos
Vem se emocionar com a gente com esse depoimento da Carol, uma das mães da ong, contando um pouquinho da sua experiência com esse projeto.
Com a sua colaboração conseguimos ser rede de apoio para diversas famílias! Mas o que é mais lindo, pra nós, é poder ser um auxílio principalmente para mulheres, mães, que agora têm tempo pra seus projetos e planos, enquanto sabem que seus filhos estão seguros e se desenvolvendo.
