Access to culture and sport
The Vozes das Periferias Institute | Network Gerando Falcões is the first organization to implement the network’s social technologies to transform the favelas of Vila Prudente and Jardim Sinhá. Over the past 11 years, we have democratized opportunities for 250,000 people, including children, young people, and adults, and we are transforming the Haiti Favela into a 3D community (Dignified, Digital, and Developed).
Our work focuses on culture and sports for children and young people aged 6 to 17, professional qualification and income generation for young people and adults aged 14 to 59, and community communication and entrepreneurship for the general public.
