Message from
the Directors
A
nother year of work and transformation
has gone by. When we look back, we reali-
ze just how much we have contributed to
change realities that are, often, very distant from
our own. To date, we have been able to offer new
opportunities to nearly 42 thousand children,
adolescents and young people, while also streng-
thening their families and communities. In 2018,
we had an impact over 128 thousand people, ei-
ther directly or indirectly. And each year, little by
little, we reap rewards that bring us joy and inspi-
re us to move forward.
However, at the same time, we cannot deny that
the present scenario is a challenging one, whi-
ch may result in a future of continued inequality
and lack of adequate opportunities for children
in the global context.
Our everyday work, supported by technologi-
cal and social intelligence tools, provide us with
knowledge about the abyss created by inequa-
lity in Brazil. Comparing the average income,
child mortality rates or the human development
index (HDI) is enough to understand the size of
the gap between the wealthier and the extre-
mely impoverished Brazilian territories.
By being close to contexts of extreme poverty,
we come across life stories full of struggles, pain
and suffering, marked by the lack of access to
basic structures and by human rights violations.
And we are also lucky to encounter stories of
triumph, of big and small victories. We can’t help
but being moved and engaged.
That is the reason why we have a feeling of ur-
gency when we think of the future. Urgency, for
we know how big our challenge is and we seek
to respond accordingly, using caution and the
experience accumulated over 50 years of wor-
king in Brazil.
In 2018, social intelligence went a step further.
Aligned with ChildFund International and Child-
Fund Alliance, we have intensified an advocacy
strategy targeting the protection of children and
adolescent’s rights: strengthening families, for
we recognize them as the major agents of pro-
tection. Our goal is to influence the alteration,
creation, effectiveness or reinforcement of pu-
blic policies that combat abuse and aim to stren-
gthen family bonds. For that purpose, we have
closely analysed the public spaces and agendas
we must pursue and monitor, as well as partne-
red with other experts in the field. We believe
that only the integration between the primary,
secondary and tertiary sectors of economy will
enable significant and sustainable changes.
Child protection has affirmed itself as our main
value and guide to our effective presence in the
field. We have also consolidated our actions in
new territories through the project Ponte Social
(Social Bridge), executed in partnership with the
ecclesiastical segment.

During this process, we understood the impor-
tance of being aligned with the United Nations
2030 Agenda — the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) —, of providing incentives for aca-
demic production in our field, strengthening
alliances and mobilizing more and more agents
to help us build and consolidate the bridge that
connects the will to change the world to those
who need support.
We invite you to get to know what we accom-
plished in 2018. Check our numbers, watch our
videos and learn how we work. Influence other
people to be part of this network. That is the
only way we will change the world for the best.
By being close to

Summary
T
he pages that follow gather the in-
formation concerning ChildFund
Brasil’s actions in 2018, presenting
our main lines of work, projects and results.
This data confirms the effects of our tra-
jectory benefiting thousands of children,
adolescents and young Brazilians living
in contexts of deprivation, exclusion and
vulnerability, as well as their families and
communities, for over 50 years.
This document is a mean for us to be trans-
parent about how we act and invest the
resources confided to us, as well as to cer-
tify our commitment to sustainable social
transformation and to adopting tools, from
the strategy level to our field work, able
to monitor the effectiveness of our social
interventions, our programs, projects and
technologies, considering the social, eco-
nomical and environmental aspects.

about the report
OBJECTIVITY AND TRANSPARENCY
I
n order to reinforce our commitment to
transparency and the best practices in ac-
countability, we present a new edition of our
Sustainability Report. Published annually since
2015, this document follows the standards of
the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is also
inspired by the orientations of the International
Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the most
renowned international references in integra-
ted and sustainability reports.
The accounting demonstrations are presented
according to the orientations of the Internatio-
nal Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are
limited to ChildFund Brasil. This document does
not detail the resources destined to partner or-
ganizations (OSPs) since they are legally auto-
nomous and can receive their resources from
other sources.
All the information here presented is validated
by ChildFund Brasil managers who are therefo-
re responsible for its authenticity.
FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST
In the 2019 report, we take into account the the-
mes we have mapped out to be the most impor-
tant for our business, which are here called ma-
terial themes. In 2017, our stakeholders were
able to manifest themselves through a biannual
online survey that helped ChildFund Brasil iden-
tify and prioritize the five main subjects appoin-
ted by them.

This has helped us adjust the focus of this docu-
ment, reporting our progress, challenges and re-
sults of 2018 in line with society’s interests. None
of the groups pointed out topics of concern du-
ring the engagement process and research.

WHO WE ARE
A
living organism from the very beginning,
made by people able to reinvent themsel-
ves each year in order to reach their pur-
pose: to contribute to long term changes in the
lives of children, adolescents, young people and
their families. We are a social development orga-
nization dedicated to transforming the lives of
people living in contexts of deprivation, exclusion
and vulnerability. Our goal is to guarantee social
impact through the elaboration, execution and
monitoring of projects and programs. Like this, fa-
milies and communities are able to fully exercise
their rights as citizens.
Our purpose is translated into actions through our
presence in the everyday life of those who suffer
with poverty. That is where we develop – along-
side our 45 partner social organizations – initiati-
ves that contribute to strengthen the families and
communities, the empowerment of local leaders
and the assurance of basic rights, such as playing,
being able to come and go with safety and access
to health services.
10
We are part of a global network
Our work is a joint effort between many or-
ganizations connected to ChildFund Interna-
tional and ChildFund Alliance. This network
operation is present in 60 countries and is
based on the engagement with child pro-
tection and the search for better practices to
accomplish it. Our chain improves the lives
of 20 million people worldwide.

THE BEST IN BRAZIL
We have been chosen as the best NGO for peo-
ple to donate in Brazil (children and adolescents
category). This award, which gives us enormous
pride, was granted by Instituto Doar in 2018 af-
ter having analysed the best practices in the ter-
tiary sector in partnership with Rede Filantropia
(Philanthropic Network).
In its second edition, the award received more
than 2,700 submissions. In order to choose the
100 best NGOs in the country, the commission
analysed aspects such as goals and action strat-
egies, representativeness, governance, man-
agement and planning, responsability, financial
strategies, communication and transparency.
It is a privilege for us to be recognized as an
authority in our field, with over 300 thousand
NGOs in the country. This seal of approval attests
to our commitment and reinforces our purpose
to represent the children’s cause in Brazil.
Our certifications
We have been certified by two important
government representatives, having re-
ceived the Title of Federal, State and Munic-
ipal Public Value, granted by the Ministry of
Justice and Public Safety, and the Certificate
of Charitable Entity for Social Assistance (Ce-
bas), granted by the National Council for So-
cial Assistance, which exempts us from con-
tributing to social security, increasing thus
our contributions to social development.

Corporate
Governance
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
W
e believe that in order to make a real
difference we must be equipped with
the best and most innovative technol-
ogies, put in use by highly qualified teams able
to connect with the global transformations. In
this context, it is important the staff receives
all the necessary tools to explore the world in
search for the best practices in the area and in
the market, collaborating with coworkers and
with enough autonomy to suggest changes
and test new approaches.
As a result of this mindset, we see management
that is mature, ethical, responsible, transparent
and that values equity, forming the pillars of
ChildFund Brasil’s corporate governance. We
strive for excellence when managing our re-
sources and processes and we constantly eval-
uate the effectiveness of our actions in order to
improve the efficiency of our work.
Our corporate governance is based on Brazilian
legal framework and the best marketplace prac-
tices. We also adopt the management models
developed by Fundação Dom Cabral and the
Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa
(Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance) –
a nonprofit organization focused on develop-
ing the best procedures in the field. In addition,
ChildFund Brasil is a member of forums on the
subject and of the Group of Institutes, Founda-
tions and Companies (Gife), a nonprofit organi-
16 17
zation that gathers the main social investors in
the country.
In practice
In consonance with the premisses of the aforemen-
tioned organizations, a decision is only made after
the deliberation of various groups. ChildFund Brasil
is leaded by a General Assembly, an Administrative
Board and a Fiscal Board.
Our board members are professionals of different
areas and backgrounds who support our executive
board when making strategic decisions. Our Na-
tional Director, Gerson Pacheco, is responsible for
the executive management of the Institution and
responds to the board. It is up to its members to
monitorandguaranteethatChildFundInternational

We are are aware of how responsible we must be
when managing the resources confided in us by
thousands of sponsors and partners who embrace
the cause of child protection and praise for the
well-being of children and adolescents. Therefore,
we are highly committed to the effective and reli-
able use of these investments and apply initiatives
that envision constant accountability, such as re-
ports and accounting statements.

The issue of
inequality in
Brazil
T
he world has been evolving at an acceler-
ated pace. The industrial sector has been
transformed and so has our way of working,
relating to each other and facing reality. The pos-
itive side of this revolution has been increasingly
present in our daily lives, since it has become more
and more easy to connect to other people, access
information, deal with everyday problems and en-
joy other technological advancements. However,
the problems and concerns we currently have are
extremely challenging.
In spite of all these advancements, the world
suffers with severe financial, social and envi-
ronmental impasses and crisis which become
more acute over time. Many nations, Brazil in-
cluded, face economic issues and struggle to
compete in an increasingly aggressive con-
text. The matter which most concerns us it,
however, are the growing levels of inequality.
If the technological revolution has contributed to so
much improvement in our lives, it could also help
eradicate poverty and misery throughout the world.
On the one hand, there is a whole new and instigat-
THE ISSUE OF INEQUALITY IN BRAZIL
ing world ready to be discovered with enthusiasm

work processes and lower prices for increasingly
personalised services. On the other hand, however,
eachdaymoreandmorepeoplesufferfromthelack
of access to basic needs: food on the table, health-
care, education and reasonable work opportunities.
A study conducted by Fundação Getúlio Vargas So-
cial revealed a significant increase in poverty and
inequality. Misery rates have climbed 33% be-
tween 2014 and 2018.
Brazilian families living in poverty are affected as
a whole, and especially children, adolescents, and
young people, who can have their upbringing
significantly compromised by hunger, lack of ac-
cess to healthcare and education. A study released
in 2018 by the United Nations Children’s Fund
(Unicef) points out that 6 in every 10 children and
adolescents in the country suffer from at least one
aspect of poverty. In addition to lack of money,
this research analysed quality of access to educa-
tion, information (internet and TV access), clean
water, sanitation, housing and child labor protec-
tion, for Brazilians between 0 and 17 years of age.
18 19
Other aspects of extreme violation of human rights have increased, hin-
dering the development of many children, such as child sexual exploita-
tion. In 2017, Disque 100 (free of charge hotline for reporting civil rights
violations) registered 84 thousand complaints of violence against youth,
a number 10% higher than in 2016. Considering many reports involve
more than one person, the data has accounted for 130 thousand victims,
As frightening as this reality is, ChildFund Brasil believes in the effective-
nessofdailyactionsaimedtodecreaseinequalityandpromotechildpro-
tection though strengthening family bonds, community and economic
empowerment, access to education and enforcing public policies.

In Practice
Social development endeavours have an im-
portant ally to determine the most critical areas
in need of assistance, and those who can best
contribute to this effort. It is the Social Intelli-
gente Index, created by PUC Minas along with
RGarber consulting.
The Index gathers the information made availa-
ble by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and
Statistics (IBGE) in one platform. It shows infor-
mation about all of the 5,565 Brazilian munici-
palities concerning water, health, education, in-
come, electricity, sanitation, garbage collection,
surroundings of households, amongst others.
Withthisinformationinhand,weareabletomapto-
wnsandcitiesaccordingtospecificparameterswhi-
ch facilitates the strategic planning process in Chil-
dFund Brasil. The Index is one of the most relevant
results achieved by the Social Intelligente Nucleus
(NIS),createdbythesamepartnershipbetweensec-
torsandaimedtocollect,analyse,interpretandoffer
consistent data to support the development of pro-
grams, projects and social technologies.
Our team
P
rofessionals aligned with the purposes of
the institution, dedicated to constantly
learning and innovating. Diverse teams, of
diverse backgrounds, discussing strategic sub-
jects and operating in equality. A work environ-
ment that inspires continued education in every
level. An established and transparent system for
career and performance development, which
rewards accomplishments and enforces goods
salary policies. Appealing employee benefits
packages, consistent with the job market. These
are the ingredients that make ChildFund Brasil.
One of our main strategies to build our com-
pany’s culture is learning. We are a learning or-
ganization, meaning that we are a NGO that
prioritizes continuing education, associated
to internal aspects to be improved. In order to
build this road, we employ two main strategies:
Partnershipswith
educational institutions
In order to establish ourselves as a learning
organization, we reinforce partnerships with
educational institutions, which utilize aspects
of ChildFund Brasil as a subject for analysis, re-
search or the lab.
This solution provides benefits to both parties.
On one side, our organization counts on the
work of specialists who study our core strat-
egies, which can result in even more innova-
tions and improvement. On the other side, the
academic sector has the chance to apply their
theories and test the solutions found in the
learning environment, besides contributing to
our cause to eradicate poverty. We are partners
with Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas
Gerais (PUC-MG) and Fundação Dom Cabral.
ChildFund Brasil also endorses the training of
professionals in these institutions, dedicated
to postgraduate studies and masters aimed at
strategic themes such as advocacy, child pro-
tection, social indexes, process enhancement,
among others.
Work environment and
organizational culture
In 2018, ChildFund Brasil collaborators were able to
register their opinions concerning the workplace
in the research made by ChildFund International
and HayGroup consulting. The survey proposed to

installations, structure, training and development
strategies and benefits packages.

Why is that good?
• An engaged team, focused on the orga-
nizational pillars and moved by purpose
(items Engagement and Autonomy and Em-
powerment had 89% of approval)
• Innovative processes applied within the
organization and with its field partners
(item Work, Structure and Processes had 89%
of approval)
• Enhanced relationships with the benefi-
ciaries (Quality and Focus on the client has
91% of approval)
• Impact and effectiveness evaluations
applied in all projects (item Clarity and Di-
rection had 90% of approval)
“Learning-by-doing”method
Supported by an old but innovative concept, forged
by John Dewey at the turn of the 20th century, prac-
tice has been increasingly utilised as an active form
of teaching, in which the professional is the protag-
onist of their own training and gains knowledge
through practical action. This is the method Child-
Fund Brasil has chosen to use when applying inno-
vations and improvements.
Everyday, the teams identify opportunities to im-
prove their processes and way of working and they
have the autonomy to apply these changes in their
routines.This way, a mistake is seen as an opportuni-
ty for learning, which increases engagement, auton-
omy and the spirit of entrepreneurship. It is a way to
guarantee the method of learning 70/20/10, which
states that understanding comes from 70% practice,
20% relationships and 10% training.
In practice
In 2018, ChildFund Brasil began to utilise, in a coopera-
tive effort among the teams, an analytical business soft-
ware, Power BI.The staff began to produce analysis and
manage indicators directly on the program, as the pro-
fessionalslearnedhowtouseit.Theresultofthisprocess

SUPPORT ONTHE FIELD
Backed by the coalition acting strategy, Child-
Fund BRasil worked with the support of 45 Local
Partners (OSPs) in 2018. They were the ones res-
ponsible for executing the initiatives, putting so-
cial technologies and projects in practice in the
areas where the institution acts. These OSPs are
present in 55 municipalities and 747 communi-
ties in the states of Minas Gerais, Ceará, Pernam-
buco, Rio Grande do Norte, Amazonas, Piauí,
Bahia e Goiás.
The concept of partnership is not based on de-
manding, but in building together. That is why the
OSPs have independent management and receive
all the support they need to adopt better practices,
apply procedures and monitor their effectiveness.
In 2018, ChildFund Brasil was even more present
in the everyday actions of the OSPs, strengthe-
ning dialog and team building to evaluate inter-
nal processes and helping to define the pathways
to achieve excellence in their work. From our ef-
fort, the organizations were given consultations
on governance, performance management, lear-
ning culture, monitoring and result evaluation.
The effect of our partnerships is the consistency
of the OSPs to many different good market prac-
tices, one of them being the elaboration of their
own performance reports which are produced by
every organization.
Each ChildFund Brasil field unit counts on
three different types of assessors, dedicated
to provide support to the OSPs:
• Community Development Assessor: moni-
tors projects through financial indicators,
activity development and number of parti-
cipants, besides training the organizations
technical teams on project management
utilising the best tools and equipment to
contribute to their success.
• Impact Management Assessor: manages so-
cial impact, project development, programs
and social technologies.
• Sponsor-Child Bond Assessor: orients and
follows the sponsorship process in the OSPs
so that the institutions may know how to
evaluate which children can benefit from
this support, identity issues or problems to
deal with, besides mediating the contact
between sponsor and sponsored.
Listed below are the OSPs that worked
with us in 2018.

2030 AGENDA
I
n order for us to perform
transformative work in reali-
ties of extreme poverty in a
way that is more effective and
proactive, we have adopted
the 2030 Agenda as our guide,
an action plan developed by
the United Nations (UN) see-
king to solve the world’s most
urgent matters and contribu-
te to a future that is more fair,
sustainable and resilient.
The document lists 17 Sus-
tainable Development Goals
(SDG) and their clear unfol-
ding, which can be applied by
governments, private compa-
nies and social organizations.
According to UN’s Agenda,
one of the most serious chal-
lenges is to eradicate poverty,
especially extreme poverty, in
all forms.
Our work contributes to this
and other goals, choosing six
main SDGs. They were consi-
dered to be highly impactful
by ChildFund Brasil.

Development Goals.
In order to better respond to social problems, ChildFund Brasil added the Program
4 (families and communities) to the strategic portfolio. Previously it was within
Program 3, as a transverse axis.

what guides us
Principles of Human Rights
ChildFund Brasil defends human
rights and advocates primarily
defending the rights of children,
adolescents and young people
living in deprivation, exclusion
and vulnerable situations. All our
efforts target this goal.
Principles of Labor Law
Our organization works against
child and forced labor on a daily
basis through social technologies
as part of our strategies towards
social development. We also sup-
port our employee’s associations
and our policies guarantee an
ethical work environment. We
also conduct surveys in order to
establish the level of satisfaction
within the organization.
Principles to protect the envi-
ronment
ChildFund Brasil is committed
to be a paperless organization,
meaning that we work towards
reducing the use of paper in
our offices in every department,
reducing our impact on the en-
vironment which is already vir-
tually nonexistent, considering
our core activity is social devel-
opment. Apart from that, we also
develop educational projects
within our communities, such as
the “Children’s Safe Drinking Wa-
ter” project which brings drink-
ing water to children at Vale do
Jequitinhonha.
Principles to fight corruption
Our organization implements pol-
icies to fight corruption (Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics), pro-
duces transparency reports, un-
dergoes national and internation-
al audits, audits its Local Partners
and has an anonymous complaint
channel called Whistleblower.
Participation in Global Pact
Brazil Network
Since 2016, ChildFund Brasil has
been part of the Global Pact Bra-
zil Network, following the activ-
ities of the Human Rights work
group. We participate either in
person or virtually, represented
by our National Director or the
Advocacy and Communications
Assessor.
GLOBAL PACT
Since 2016, we have been been part of the Global
Pact which contains 10 principles related to the en-
vironment, work relations, human rights and com-
bating corruption. in 2018, we delivered our first
Engagement Memo (COE), a biannual document
demonstrating results and reaffirming our organiza-
tion’s commitment. .

n order to provide children, adolescents and
youth with access to their rights as citizens, we
must be efficient, establish life-changing part-
nerships, mobilize agents for change, learn and
improve constantly, measure the results of our
actions and innovate. In 2018, we made a lot of
progress in all of those areas.
We put together a strategy to work in coalition
towards the defense of human rights (advocacy),
strengthened child protection by using the fam-
ilies as the compass or our institutional and field
activities, and we expanded our Ponte Social in-
cluding new areas. We also started working with
our Local Partners in a more constant manner in
order to guarantee their good performance in all
segments.
Internally, we promoted continued education
and reinforced our partnerships with established
educational institutions. As a result we see thor-
ough studies focused on ChildFund Brasil’s initia-
tives, an incentive to enhance our processes.
On the following pages you will find a summary
of all our activities.
ORIENTED BY CHILD PROTECTION
Article 4 of the Child and Adolescent Statute
states: “ It is a responsibility of the family, the
community, the society as a whole and the Gov-
how we work
30 31
ernment to ensure, with absolute priority, the ef-
fectiveness of the minor’s rights concerning life,
health, nutrition, education, sports, leasure, train-
ing, culture, dignity, respect, freedom and family
and community environment”. However, many
children, adolescents and youth do not have ac-
cess to those rights. That is why one of our main
goals, from planning to field activities, is to con-
tribute to ensure the basic conditions for their
physical, emotional and cognitive development.
Concerning the government and political con-
cern to contribute to the defense of those rights,
we focus on advocacy. We work to influence
those making public decisions and reinforce, im-
plement or monitor the execution of public poli-
cies aligned with our mission.
On the field, child protection is present in all of
ChildFund Brasil and the Local Partner’s activi-
ties. Our social technologies, projects and initia-
tives are all transversal, seeking to promote safety
and well-being for children, directly or indirectly,
through different work fronts, providing many dif-
ferent benefits aligned to our purpose.
In practice, we have broadened our vision by in-
cluding child protection as a goal for the spon-
sored children’s activities and initiatives directed
to family and community strengthening, once we
consider a child must count on a safe home and
neighborhood in order to feel protected. As a re-
sult we see activities on many fronts that comple-
ment each other and are connected seeking to
confront, in some way, all of the risk factors within
a community.
What are our direct actions toward
child protection?
The role of ChildFund Brasil is to put child protection
at the center of all activities. In practice, the strategy
is to consider this goal in all of our field presence –
either directly or indirectly. For this purpose, it is im-
portant the organizations get to know the risk factors
of each community and have support to develop an
action plan defining which tools will be used to en-
sure the well-being of the children, adolescents and
youth, their families, neighbors and community.
To welcome and embrace our sponsored children
is a focus of all our Local Partners.Through different
social technologies, they begin to count on spaces
where they feel safe to share their experiences, talk
about vulnerabilities, get to know their own bodies
and express their feelings.
Children, adolescents and youth are empowered
by these policies and begin to understand their
rights and responsibilities, identify situations of risk,
come up with solutions through dialogue, and re-
sort to a safety net in case of any violation.
Another focus we have is to assess the risk factors
inside the family environment, utilizing social tech-
nologies and other initiatives targeting the rein-
forcement of this bond, making the home a space
of protection, affection and dialogue.
Our conduct towards emplo-
yees, collaborators, partners,
providers and sponsors is gui-
ded by our Child Safeguarding
Policy (scan the QR code to ac-
cess it). The document gathers
information concerning the cor-
rect conduct when approaching
children and adolescents pro-
tected by the organization.
Apart from that, our Local Part-
ners have their own policies con-
cerning child protection, created
with the support of ChildFund
Brasil and respecting the realities
of each region. The organizations
also perform an annual reassess-
ment of their policies.

How we
work
ADVOCACY: INFLUENCING CHANGE
Unfortunately, violence against children is an en-
demic reality that persists throughout the world.
That is why we believe it to be essential that orga-
nizations with experience on the subject of child
protection work deliberately towards influencing
decision makers to inforce or alter public policies
related to their cause. The work must be guided
by their practical work, studies and other eviden-
ce able to determine the best ways to guarantee
the appreciation and protection of the rights of
children, adolescents and youth.
Looking to develop an efficient advocacy strate-
gy, ChildFund Brasil surveyed every participating
community in order to identify the main issues fa-
ced by the people between 0 and 24 years of age.
What are the risk and protection factors in each
community? What are the most severe depriva-
tions? In what aspect are they most excluded?
32 33
Advocacy in ChildFund
Brasil has the following
goals: to influence, monitor
and promote the creation
and fulfillment of laws
and policies related to
child protection; conduct
campaigns for awareness
and engagement
concerning childhood;
reinforce alliances and
the integration with the
government, private sector
and social organizations.
The results show that
domestic violence,
lack of family bonds
and abandonment,
lack of safety in the
community and drug
trafficking are some
of the problems
which most affect
the youth.
The advocacy
strategy in the
organization
is aligned with
the premisses
of ChildFund
International and
ChildFund Alliance,
whose main mission
is to combat violence
against children.
The troubling diagnosis reached during
ChildFund Brasil’s field work emphasized
the need to strengthen public policies to
prevent such scenarios on a federal, state
and municipal level. Apart from this re-
search, the organization counted on the
support of Pulso Público, a consulting firm
that supports tertiary sector organizations
with national advocacy initiatives.
In other words, the only way to effecti-
vely address the many issues concerning
child protection is to seek solutions that
are not isolated, simplistic and short-
term. Therefore, it is necessary to act in
a structured and coordinated manner,
alongside experts from other sectors,
such as social organizations, private com-
panies or the government.
how we work
Child protection and combating violence against
children, adolescents and young people in Brazil.
Specifically, the organization will focus on preven-
ting and addressing the causes for deprivation,
exclusion and social vulnerability with actions
divided by age groups. On all fronts, the goal is
to ensure family strengthening in order to avoid
abuse and domestic violence and produce a
more protective environment.
In practice
Until 2014, ChildFund Brasil will monitor laws
and public policies that represent a progress or
retrogression to the fight on violence against the
children, adolescents and young people of Bra-
zil, promoting and mobilizing the improvement
of public policies that prevent child abuse in the
domestic environment.
34 35
Family strengthening is
one of the goals of our
advocacy strategy. The
goal is to contribute so
that every home becomes
a space of protection,
able to allow for the
emotional, cognitive and
physical development of
children, adolescents and
young people.

how we work
SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE
What is the impact of our activities? How
many projects were put in place? How many
sponsored children participate in the initi-
atives? Looking to answer these and other
questions able to measure the effectiveness
of out actions, ChildFund Brasil periodically
monitors its interventions and social projects.
One of our best practices is the Project Perfor-
mance Index (IDP), which gathers indicators
that help us monitor, control, analyse and rec-
ommend interventions for improvement. The
monitoring process is based on the annual plan
for each project, ensuring a presence that is re-
sponsible, systematic and result-oriented.
Another mechanism we use to help determine
the effectiveness of our actions is the Child
Verification System. This tool monitors the
attendance and participation of each child
throughout the activities, as well as their health
and school development. The information from
this system also support program development
seeking to improve our actions or solve any
issues we may encounter.
This information, along with data from other
sources, feeds the Social Intelligence Nucleus
(NIS), a work group created in partnership with
Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais
(PUC-MG). Its purpose is to work towards the
development of innovative and transformative
programs, projects and social technologies.

In every community, ChildFund Brasil acts based

Sustainable Social Transformation. The strategy
seeks to improve the area where the child, ado-
lescent or young person lives in in order to en-
sure their complete development. Our cycle of
performance is 16 years long.
ADVOCACY IN THE FIELD
The principles defended by ChildFund Bra-
sil on both state and federal levels are child
protection, combating abuse and family
strengthening. When addressing cities and
communities, one of our goals is to train
our local partners in advocacy and enhance
their roles as active spokespeople.
In order to better understand each reality,
ChildFund Brasil worked on the develop-
ment of an interactive diagnosis on the
theme to evaluate the mechanisms used for
child protection in the communities as well
as the risk factors in each place.
The result showed different and diverse
channels for protection (such as family,
neighbors, organizations, abuse hotline,
church, school, the home, recreation center,
among others), confirming the communi-
ty’s potential to guarantee the well-being of
children, adolescents and young people.
Two other ChildFund Brasil initiatives were
also highlighted in this context: the actions
of Rejudes (Youth Network in Defense of
their Social Rights) and the community
agents (learn more about these technolo-
gies on pages XX and XX, respectively). In
many places, young people from Rejudes or
the community agents are the ones respon-
sible for communicating the community’s
interests and claim for government actions
or help establish new partnerships.
This diagnosis was one of the documents to
support the formulation of ChildFund Bras-
il’s advocacy strategy.

Child
sponsorship
T
ransforming the lives of children, adolescents
and youth living in poverty is only possible
because of people who mobilize in Brazil and
throughout the world, involved in the same cause.
The sponsors are our most important enablers, who

In 2018, sponsorship was made through a monthly

The areas with higher

T
he main source of resources for financing the
activities of ChildFund Brasil are the sponsor-
ships, made by people who are interested in
contributing to our cause and make monthly do-
nations that support our work towards children’s
well-being.This work makes us feel like we are build-
ing social bridges, that is, connecting purposes, es-
tablishing partnerships and contributing to reduce
inequality in extremely impoverished areas.
Thesupportofboththeecclesiasticsegmentandpri-
vate companies have been essential for this initiative,
as we have seen since 2013 with the creation of the
Projeto Ponte Social (Social Bridges Project). The goal
of this alliance is to gather our strengths and contrib-
ute to ChildFund Brasil’s and the partner’s missions
and projects.
In practice, one of the most important aspects
of this partnership is to encourage our part-
ners to become community sponsors and,
later on, to sponsor children living in poverty.
With this support, ChildFund Brasil has been
able to expand its presence and contribute
to the improvement of communities suffer-
ing with poverty and lack of access to ba-
sic structures such as sanitation, nutrition,
healthcare and education. One of our jobs is
to identify people who can lead the endeav-
or of building a social organization in the
area, which will then be responsible for ap-
plying social projects and technologies that
benefit the community, with our advisement
and assistance.

SOCIAL BRIDGES: PRESENCE
In 2018, ChildFund Brasil was able to establish it-
self in new areas, thanks to this alliance. Along-
side the ecclesiastic segment, we implemented
activities in Santa Luz (PI), Anagé (BA), Cavalcante
(GO) e São Vicente do Seridó (PB). In Curimatá (PI),
the project was implemented through the pri-
vate partnership with Fundação Lamb Watchers.
During this period we were able to observe the
following results:
• Santa Luz (PI) and Anagé (BA): we finished our
second year of activities in these towns being
able to see strong community leaders, more of
the youth being sponsored, and more families
developing strong bonds. In 2018, the Local Part-
ners were able to reinforce their presence and ex-
ecute many projects and social technologies.
• Cavalcante (GO): the local partner responsible
for developing activities in the area was created
in the last year. Its foundation was duly formal-
ized within government standards, the space
for its activities was structured and professionals
were trained and properly hired. The OSP began
its effective activities on the second semester.
We also observed an increase in sponsored chil-
dren in the area.
• Curimatá (PI): the OSP’s main concern was to
identify which projects and technologies need-
ed to be implemented, a process that received
the help of the community as a whole. Besides,
they began to catalogue the children who may
be sponsored through Ponte Social. The OSP
also developed activities to stimulate volunteer-
ing and family engagement, besides promoting
debates and group talks to share information on
their work with the government and other social
organizations.
• São Vicente do Seridó (PB): ChildFund Brasil’s
team visited the municipality in 2018 to get to
know their structures, their history, their de-
mography, existing public equipments and
other valuable information to support our ac-
tivities in the future.

ChildFund Brasil works with 11 differ-

towards implementing it is to reach a
diagnosis of the community in order to
understand their main demands and
challenges. After actively listening to
the people, ChildFund Brasil suggests
or develops the technologies that bet-
ter serve that reality, considering their
social, political, economical and envi-
ronmental aspects.
Amongst the varied activities we pro-
pose, we have sportive, educational
and cultural workshops, community
meetings, therapy groups and lectures.
These activities are guided by the Na-
tional Social Assistance Policy (PNAS),
established by the Unified Social Assis-

A
moment for honest and open dialogue in
which the issues of a group or communi-
ty are debated. This is the structure of our
therapy groups, which seeks to strengthen fami-
ly and community bonds by building a solidarity
network. This technology is based on five axes:
systemic thought, communication theory, cul-
tural anthropology, Paulo Freire’s pedagogy and
resilience. It takes place in the form of circle gath-
erings among people of similar age or all mem-
bers of community, regardless of gender or age,
mediated by qualified professionals.
An example of success:
In the town of São Luís do Curu (CE), Integrative
Community Therapy has been acting as a space
for dialogue, embracing and building the com-
munity’s sense of self worth. During one of these
meetings, dedicated to discussing exclusion, a
young man felt comfortable enough to share the
story of a trauma he had suffered years before on
his birthday when he threw a party for his friends
but only two of them came. He told people how
he isolated himself after that and then stopped
celebrating his birthday. After opening up, the

t is a social technology for Financial Education
that forms groups of local opportunities that
seek solutions for the overcoming of poverty
through the exchange of experiences, social mo-
bilization,communitysolidarityanddevelopment
of enterprises.The goal is to save money and form
a network of solidarity economy and cooperation.
An example of success:
In its second year, the group for social and finan-
cial education of Associação Recreativa de So-
lonópole (CE) continued to support 25 mothers
from the area. Since its foundation in 2017, this
initiative teaches about entrepreneurship, culi-
nary and savings. Through these meetings, the
women began to see cooking as a source of in-
come. They began to sell traditional dishes, ho-
memade candy and cakes for special occasions.
Two of the members already opened their own
businesses in the field.

laves – Playing Makes Us Stronger works
with training educators, community lead-
ers and family members in the prevention
of sexual violence against children and teenagers.
This technology educates these agents to act in
a playful and supporting manner to teach chil-
dren how to protect themselves and how to react
in the event of an abusive situation. Claves also
promotes the enhancement of family bonds and
good community relationships.
An example of success:
During a workshop of Playing Makes Us Stronger at
theMovimentodeAjuda FamiliardeOcara(CE)(Fam-
ilyAssistanceMovementofOcara(CE)),achildbegan
to change the way she viewed her own body. Before
the activity, she thought that caring for one’s body
meantonlyhygieneandwould,therefore,makerude
comments and jokes about her classmates, saying
they were ugly in some way or another. The Claves
method transformed this scenario by showing them
how to care for their own bodies, and teaching them
about diversity and respect.

Sustainability and conscious consumption
were the two themes responsible for mobi-
lizing children and adolescents from the club
Aflatoun Amigos do Bairro São Vicente, in Car-
bonita (MG) in 2018. During workshops and
group talks, the 23 attendants understood the
relation between economy, energy and pro-
tecting the environment and learned about
the importance of conscious use of natural
resources. They were also given tips for saving
electricity in their houses. After these orienta-
tions,thesponsoredchildrenbroughtthecon-
versations into their homes: they started mon-
itoring their consumption habits and energy
bills. Three months later, most of the children
and adolescents had helped their families re-
duce, on average, R$20 off their expenses.

o stimulate mothers, fathers, young
people (of at least 18 years of age) or
local agents to act as multipliers and
leaders of change in their area. This is the
goal of this technology, to form articulators.
Their responsibility is to strengthen family
and community ties, contributing to build a
stronger and better society in which to live.
For this, the agents participate in trainings,
workshops and meetings that make them
able to visit families, identify problems and
promote family awareness about health
care, disease prevention, school attendance
and other matters.
An example of success:
In the town of Milagres (CE), the agents in-
structed by Sociedade de Assistência à Cri-
ança (Child Assistance Society) made a dif-
ference in their areas. After being trained in
the Claves program, they have developed
games and group talks with families from
their communities, creating an ideal situa-
tion to promote dialogue between people
of different ages, stimulate affection in the
family and strengthen their bonds.

his social technology uses photography as a
tool to introduce the debate and reflection
over community issues. In order to do so,
the students learn about photography, civil rights,
identity and responsibilities. The goal is to sharpen
their perceptions and create a culture of participa-
tion regarding their local realities. It is also a mo-
ment for sharing ideas, connecting to the commu-
nity and participating in the public sphere.
An example of success:
At the Olhares em Foco workshop implement-
ed at the realizadas na Sociedade de Apoio à
Família Carente de Crato (CE) (Family Support
Society of Crato) the young Ítalo Alencar got to
know about photography and found his calling.
This has, since then, become an important tool
for his professional growth and his path as a full
citizen. Besides being a member of Rejudes Na-
tional Committee, Ítalo has also gained some
important artistic recognition. He won first place
at the photography competition at the Universi-
dade Regional do Cariri (URCA), had his pictures
selected for the 1st and 2nd Cine Cariri de cul-
tura, became a facilitator in photography work-
shops for teenagers and youth at the OSP where
he studied and in another organization as well,
in the town of Barbalha. Beyond that, one of his
photos became the cover of a self-help book.

n ChildFund Brasil, we use the social technolo-
gy Fighting for Peace to attract young people
to join our Local Partners by promoting em-
powerment and protagonism to them - so they
can develop their full potential. In order to reach
this goal, this technology uses boxing and martial
arts as tools for social inclusion and development
of life skills. To be able to implement Fighting for
Peace, the organizations received immersion trai-
nings in Complexo da Maré (the project’s head-
quarters) which targeter managers, educators
and young people.
Exemplo de Sucesso:
Based on the tradition of using sports as a mo-
tivator for change, the Associação Comunitária
do Município de Medina (MG) participated in the
training program Fighting for Peace in 2016. This
partnership has led to good results: the children’s
performances in sport has improved and they
have gained notoriety in several regional and
state competitions. In May 2018, for instance, the
OSP brought home 30 medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
places in the Karate Regional Cup, besides other
accomplishments in different regional events. In
addition, three athletes from the program ente-
red the Belo Horizonte Karate Cup, in which two
of them stood on the podium: one won 2nd pla-
ce in the “14 to 17” category and the other won
3rd place in the“12 to 14”category.

that makes us very proud: Rejudes - Rede de Juven-
tude em Defesa de seus Direitos Sociais. (Youth Net-
work in Defense of their Social Rights)
The project began in July 2015 in the Fortaleza Field
Unit (CE) and is present in over 38 municipalities in
Minas Gerais and Ceará today. Its goal is to mobilize
young people from the projects developed by our
Local Partners in urban and rural areas to participate
in activities that enhance their social experiences.
The work of Rejudes is anchored in the following
standards: personal, sociopolitical and holistic de-
velopment, as well as being guided by the Child
and Adolescent Statute (Law number 12.852/2013)
which states the rights of young people such as
right to sporting activities, leasure, culture, commu-
nication, public safety and etc.
Rejudes seeks to promote active participation
and incentive young people to be the leaders in
the fight for equality, dignity and enforcement of
their civil rights. A different workfront within the
project is aimed at strengthening their sense of
identity and skills.

The result of this activity is the empowerment of
young people, who begin to know their social rights
and responsibilities and see themselves as able to act
aslocalmultipliersandagents.Inmanycommunities,
the members of Rejudes are responsible for advocat-
ing for child protection, monitoring public policies
that target the cause and other priority issues.
In practice, the Network is organized into national,
regional and local committees, besides having an
exclusive articulator in each field unity.The National
Committeeisformedby16youngpeople,fourfrom
each field unit, and is responsible for representing
ChildFund Brasil’s youth, supporting and promot-
ing national meetings, defining priority themes
and planning activities. The Regional Committee
is made of four people responsible for developing
campaigns and activity within regions, and the Lo-
cal Committee is dedicated to activities in the com-
munities and is formed by four young people from
each of the OSP’s projects.
In 2018, the work was done in four units: Belo Hori-
zonte and Metropolitan area, Vale do Jequitinhonha
(MG), Fortaleza and Cariri (CE).

3rd
NationalMeeting
The 3rd
National Rejudes Meeting was centered
around the theme “Young Entrepreneur, Ideas
that Transform”, proving that young people are
able to make their own business ideas a reality
and highlighting their strength as mobilizers for
socioeconomic change in their communities.
The regional and local committees were dedicat-
ed to discussing the theme throughout the year
in order to excel in the event. It was the perfect
opportunity for them to discover new business
ideas within their communities and get to work
on them.
They presented the results of their work on the
meeting, where 89 young people were present.
The group also had the opportunity to talk to our
National Director Gerson Pacheco, our digital in-
fluencer and NGO creator Gerando Falcões, Edu
Lyra, and Sandro Magaldi (Meu Sucesso.com).

Encouragingentrepreneurship
In order to foster the entrepreneur spirit in young
people, Rejudes put a series of activities in prac-
tice. During lectures, the group had the opportu-
nity to learn important concepts from the busi-
ness world and the ideal assets they must possess
to succeed in their fields.The group talks and visits
put Rejudes members in contact with successful
local entrepreneurs who shared their experiences
in the area. They also held workshops, fairs, dis-
tributed courseware and other activities.
Anexempleofsucess:
In the community of Córrego do Feijão,
in Limoeiro do Norte (CE), a group of
young Rejudes members were able to
make profit every month of the year by
working on Império D’gust. In this com-
pany, they work with solidarity economy
selling quality sweet and savory snacks at

FreeYouthConferences
A moment dedicated to the discussion of
change, understand each ones responsibilities
and build a common agenda for change, aligned
with UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
These were the 2018 Free Youth Conferences,
an opportunity to learn and begin to act locally.
In 2018, the conferences continued with the pur-
pose of elaborating proposals that ensure the civil
rights of youth or monitoring ideas already pre-
sented to the government. The activity is aligned
with ChildFund Brasil advocacy strategy, and was
an opportunity for us to see what was already be-
ing done, define what measures still need to be
adopted and reinforce the importance of young
people’s role in being active citizens and monitor-
ing local government.
Anexempleofsucess:
In Lavras da Mangabeira (CE), the 2nd
Free
Youth Conference was able to gather
government representatives, schools,
Centro de Referência de Assistência So-
cial (CRAS), and the community to talk
about their challenges and build toge-
ther an action plan to tackle the issues
they encountered.
LocalandRegionalCommitteeMeetings
The local and regional committees are the ones
responsible for putting activities and campaigns
into practice. Chosen by their own colleagues,
the members of this group are responsible for
stimulating participation, teaching about the
importance of fighting for our own rights and
monitoring the effectiveness of activities. They
receive the support of ChildFund Brasil during
the entire process.
In 2018, the local and regional meetings present-
ed debates on a wide range of subjects, such as
entrepreneurship, UN’s agenda for sustainable
development, good family living, huma rights,
racism and gender equality. During the discus-
sions, the young men and women were able to
ask questions, learn and suggest action plans.
Anexempleofsucess:
In the community of Batieiro, in Chapada
do Norte (Vale do Jequitinhonha - MG),
the Rejudes team present in local com-
mittee meetings identified the need to
discuss health issues and the physical
development of children and adoles-
cents. Thus, they partener up with their
OSP to produce the 3rd Itinerant Obser-
vatory of Child And Adolescent Health
(Observaped), an initiative of Universi-
dade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)
School of Medicine. It was the first time
the committee left their headquarters in

Participationinthepublicsphere
Another important work front in Rejudes is to
provide every tool so that young people may
become the leading figures in the process of im-
proving their communities. In practice, the effort
results in a more active presence of these groups
in city council meetings, with local government
officials and lawmakers. This movement is central
in communicating our commitment to advocate
for child protection causes.
In the last year, young people from the Network
continues to participate in meetings held by the
Municipal Councils for Rights of Children and Ad-
olescents, Youth, Women, Elderly, Nutrition and
Substance Abuse Prevention.
Anexempleofsucess:
In Itapipoca (CE), two members of Re-
judes were elected members in the Youth
Municipal Council. This has contributed
for the Network, making their proposals
be heard and known by the local govern-
ment, besides providing an opportunity
for them to reinforce their relations with
municipal secretariats and other social
movements in town.
ThemeCampaigns
Young people from Rejudes have also had the op-

  • 3. Message from the Directors A nother year of work and transformation has gone by. When we look back, we reali- ze just how much we have contributed to change realities that are, often, very distant from our own. To date, we have been able to offer new opportunities to nearly 42 thousand children, adolescents and young people, while also streng- thening their families and communities. In 2018, we had an impact over 128 thousand people, ei- ther directly or indirectly. And each year, little by little, we reap rewards that bring us joy and inspi- re us to move forward. However, at the same time, we cannot deny that the present scenario is a challenging one, whi- ch may result in a future of continued inequality and lack of adequate opportunities for children in the global context. Our everyday work, supported by technologi- cal and social intelligence tools, provide us with knowledge about the abyss created by inequa- lity in Brazil. Comparing the average income, child mortality rates or the human development index (HDI) is enough to understand the size of the gap between the wealthier and the extre- mely impoverished Brazilian territories. By being close to contexts of extreme poverty, we come across life stories full of struggles, pain and suffering, marked by the lack of access to basic structures and by human rights violations. And we are also lucky to encounter stories of triumph, of big and small victories. We can’t help but being moved and engaged. That is the reason why we have a feeling of ur- gency when we think of the future. Urgency, for we know how big our challenge is and we seek to respond accordingly, using caution and the experience accumulated over 50 years of wor- king in Brazil. In 2018, social intelligence went a step further. Aligned with ChildFund International and Child- Fund Alliance, we have intensified an advocacy strategy targeting the protection of children and adolescent’s rights: strengthening families, for we recognize them as the major agents of pro- tection. Our goal is to influence the alteration, creation, effectiveness or reinforcement of pu- blic policies that combat abuse and aim to stren- gthen family bonds. For that purpose, we have closely analysed the public spaces and agendas we must pursue and monitor, as well as partne- red with other experts in the field. We believe that only the integration between the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of economy will enable significant and sustainable changes. Child protection has affirmed itself as our main value and guide to our effective presence in the field. We have also consolidated our actions in new territories through the project Ponte Social (Social Bridge), executed in partnership with the ecclesiastical segment. Gerson Pacheco National Director Gilson Magalhães President of Assembly message from the directors 54 During this process, we understood the impor- tance of being aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda — the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) —, of providing incentives for aca- demic production in our field, strengthening alliances and mobilizing more and more agents to help us build and consolidate the bridge that connects the will to change the world to those who need support. We invite you to get to know what we accom- plished in 2018. Check our numbers, watch our videos and learn how we work. Influence other people to be part of this network. That is the only way we will change the world for the best. By being close to contexts of extreme poverty, we come across life stories full of struggles, pain and suffering, marked by the lack of access to basic structures and by human rights violations. And we are also lucky to encounter stories of triumph, of big and small victories. We can’t help but being moved and engaged.” GRI 102-14
  • 4. 76 Executive Summary T he pages that follow gather the in- formation concerning ChildFund Brasil’s actions in 2018, presenting our main lines of work, projects and results. This data confirms the effects of our tra- jectory benefiting thousands of children, adolescents and young Brazilians living in contexts of deprivation, exclusion and vulnerability, as well as their families and communities, for over 50 years. This document is a mean for us to be trans- parent about how we act and invest the resources confided to us, as well as to cer- tify our commitment to sustainable social transformation and to adopting tools, from the strategy level to our field work, able to monitor the effectiveness of our social interventions, our programs, projects and technologies, considering the social, eco- nomical and environmental aspects.

  • 5. Aboutthereport about the report OBJECTIVITY AND TRANSPARENCY I n order to reinforce our commitment to transparency and the best practices in ac- countability, we present a new edition of our Sustainability Report. Published annually since 2015, this document follows the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is also inspired by the orientations of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the most renowned international references in integra- ted and sustainability reports. The accounting demonstrations are presented according to the orientations of the Internatio- nal Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are limited to ChildFund Brasil. This document does not detail the resources destined to partner or- ganizations (OSPs) since they are legally auto- nomous and can receive their resources from other sources. All the information here presented is validated by ChildFund Brasil managers who are therefo- re responsible for its authenticity. FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST In the 2019 report, we take into account the the- mes we have mapped out to be the most impor- tant for our business, which are here called ma- terial themes. In 2017, our stakeholders were able to manifest themselves through a biannual online survey that helped ChildFund Brasil iden- tify and prioritize the five main subjects appoin- ted by them. 8 9G4-DMA, GRI 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, 102-46, 102-47 This has helped us adjust the focus of this docu- ment, reporting our progress, challenges and re- sults of 2018 in line with society’s interests. None of the groups pointed out topics of concern du- ring the engagement process and research.

  • 6. ChildFund Brasil WHO WE ARE A living organism from the very beginning, made by people able to reinvent themsel- ves each year in order to reach their pur- pose: to contribute to long term changes in the lives of children, adolescents, young people and their families. We are a social development orga- nization dedicated to transforming the lives of people living in contexts of deprivation, exclusion and vulnerability. Our goal is to guarantee social impact through the elaboration, execution and monitoring of projects and programs. Like this, fa- milies and communities are able to fully exercise their rights as citizens. Our purpose is translated into actions through our presence in the everyday life of those who suffer with poverty. That is where we develop – along- side our 45 partner social organizations – initiati- ves that contribute to strengthen the families and communities, the empowerment of local leaders and the assurance of basic rights, such as playing, being able to come and go with safety and access to health services. 10 We are part of a global network Our work is a joint effort between many or- ganizations connected to ChildFund Interna- tional and ChildFund Alliance. This network operation is present in 60 countries and is based on the engagement with child pro- tection and the search for better practices to accomplish it. Our chain improves the lives of 20 million people worldwide. 11 CHILDFUND BRASIL A world in which children are able to exercise their rights and reach their full potential. • To support the development of children living in deprivation, exclusion and vulnerable situations so they are able to implement improvements in their lives and have the opportunity to become adults, parents and leaders who will provide positive and sustainable changes in their communities. • To mobilize people and institutions to be active participants in the appreciation,protectionandpromotionoofchildren’srightsinsociety. • To enrich the lives of our supporters by defending our cause. • To promote positive results for the children • To demonstrate integrity, openness and honesty, especially in the administration of every resource. • To preserve individual values and respect. • To defend the diversity of thought and experience. • To promote innovation and challenge. • To establish relationships and collaborate proactively.

  • 7. 1312 CHILDFUND BRASIL 52 years THE BEST IN BRAZIL We have been chosen as the best NGO for peo- ple to donate in Brazil (children and adolescents category). This award, which gives us enormous pride, was granted by Instituto Doar in 2018 af- ter having analysed the best practices in the ter- tiary sector in partnership with Rede Filantropia (Philanthropic Network). In its second edition, the award received more than 2,700 submissions. In order to choose the 100 best NGOs in the country, the commission analysed aspects such as goals and action strat- egies, representativeness, governance, man- agement and planning, responsability, financial strategies, communication and transparency. It is a privilege for us to be recognized as an authority in our field, with over 300 thousand NGOs in the country. This seal of approval attests to our commitment and reinforces our purpose to represent the children’s cause in Brazil. Our certifications We have been certified by two important government representatives, having re- ceived the Title of Federal, State and Munic- ipal Public Value, granted by the Ministry of Justice and Public Safety, and the Certificate of Charitable Entity for Social Assistance (Ce- bas), granted by the National Council for So- cial Assistance, which exempts us from con- tributing to social security, increasing thus our contributions to social development.

  • 9. Corporate Governance CORPORATE GOVERNANCE W e believe that in order to make a real difference we must be equipped with the best and most innovative technol- ogies, put in use by highly qualified teams able to connect with the global transformations. In this context, it is important the staff receives all the necessary tools to explore the world in search for the best practices in the area and in the market, collaborating with coworkers and with enough autonomy to suggest changes and test new approaches. As a result of this mindset, we see management that is mature, ethical, responsible, transparent and that values equity, forming the pillars of ChildFund Brasil’s corporate governance. We strive for excellence when managing our re- sources and processes and we constantly eval- uate the effectiveness of our actions in order to improve the efficiency of our work. Our corporate governance is based on Brazilian legal framework and the best marketplace prac- tices. We also adopt the management models developed by Fundação Dom Cabral and the Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa (Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance) – a nonprofit organization focused on develop- ing the best procedures in the field. In addition, ChildFund Brasil is a member of forums on the subject and of the Group of Institutes, Founda- tions and Companies (Gife), a nonprofit organi- 16 17 zation that gathers the main social investors in the country. In practice In consonance with the premisses of the aforemen- tioned organizations, a decision is only made after the deliberation of various groups. ChildFund Brasil is leaded by a General Assembly, an Administrative Board and a Fiscal Board. Our board members are professionals of different areas and backgrounds who support our executive board when making strategic decisions. Our Na- tional Director, Gerson Pacheco, is responsible for the executive management of the Institution and responds to the board. It is up to its members to monitorandguaranteethatChildFundInternational CodeofBusinessConductandEthicsandChildFund Brasil’s policies are applied in every process. In 2018, following the orientations of legal framework (which states the board should be reorganized every threeyears)alterationsweremadeandanewpresident waschosen.Thechangeshappenedafterdeliberation among the former board members who considered the strategic goals of the organization to evaluate the newstructure.

  • 10. The issue of inequality in Brazil T he world has been evolving at an acceler- ated pace. The industrial sector has been transformed and so has our way of working, relating to each other and facing reality. The pos- itive side of this revolution has been increasingly present in our daily lives, since it has become more and more easy to connect to other people, access information, deal with everyday problems and en- joy other technological advancements. However, the problems and concerns we currently have are extremely challenging. In spite of all these advancements, the world suffers with severe financial, social and envi- ronmental impasses and crisis which become more acute over time. Many nations, Brazil in- cluded, face economic issues and struggle to compete in an increasingly aggressive con- text. The matter which most concerns us it, however, are the growing levels of inequality. If the technological revolution has contributed to so much improvement in our lives, it could also help eradicate poverty and misery throughout the world. On the one hand, there is a whole new and instigat- THE ISSUE OF INEQUALITY IN BRAZIL ing world ready to be discovered with enthusiasm for new technologies, modern and more efficient work processes and lower prices for increasingly personalised services. On the other hand, however, eachdaymoreandmorepeoplesufferfromthelack of access to basic needs: food on the table, health- care, education and reasonable work opportunities. A study conducted by Fundação Getúlio Vargas So- cial revealed a significant increase in poverty and inequality. Misery rates have climbed 33% be- tween 2014 and 2018. Brazilian families living in poverty are affected as a whole, and especially children, adolescents, and young people, who can have their upbringing significantly compromised by hunger, lack of ac- cess to healthcare and education. A study released in 2018 by the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) points out that 6 in every 10 children and adolescents in the country suffer from at least one aspect of poverty. In addition to lack of money, this research analysed quality of access to educa- tion, information (internet and TV access), clean water, sanitation, housing and child labor protec- tion, for Brazilians between 0 and 17 years of age. 18 19 Other aspects of extreme violation of human rights have increased, hin- dering the development of many children, such as child sexual exploita- tion. In 2017, Disque 100 (free of charge hotline for reporting civil rights violations) registered 84 thousand complaints of violence against youth, a number 10% higher than in 2016. Considering many reports involve more than one person, the data has accounted for 130 thousand victims, As frightening as this reality is, ChildFund Brasil believes in the effective- nessofdailyactionsaimedtodecreaseinequalityandpromotechildpro- tection though strengthening family bonds, community and economic empowerment, access to education and enforcing public policies.

  • 11. 20 21 our team In Practice Social development endeavours have an im- portant ally to determine the most critical areas in need of assistance, and those who can best contribute to this effort. It is the Social Intelli- gente Index, created by PUC Minas along with RGarber consulting. The Index gathers the information made availa- ble by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in one platform. It shows infor- mation about all of the 5,565 Brazilian munici- palities concerning water, health, education, in- come, electricity, sanitation, garbage collection, surroundings of households, amongst others.

Our team P rofessionals aligned with the purposes of the institution, dedicated to constantly learning and innovating. Diverse teams, of diverse backgrounds, discussing strategic sub- jects and operating in equality. A work environ- ment that inspires continued education in every level. An established and transparent system for career and performance development, which rewards accomplishments and enforces goods salary policies. Appealing employee benefits packages, consistent with the job market. These are the ingredients that make ChildFund Brasil. One of our main strategies to build our com- pany’s culture is learning. We are a learning or- ganization, meaning that we are a NGO that prioritizes continuing education, associated to internal aspects to be improved. In order to build this road, we employ two main strategies: Partnershipswith educational institutions In order to establish ourselves as a learning organization, we reinforce partnerships with educational institutions, which utilize aspects of ChildFund Brasil as a subject for analysis, re- search or the lab. This solution provides benefits to both parties. On one side, our organization counts on the work of specialists who study our core strat- egies, which can result in even more innova- tions and improvement. On the other side, the academic sector has the chance to apply their theories and test the solutions found in the learning environment, besides contributing to our cause to eradicate poverty. We are partners with Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC-MG) and Fundação Dom Cabral. ChildFund Brasil also endorses the training of professionals in these institutions, dedicated to postgraduate studies and masters aimed at strategic themes such as advocacy, child pro- tection, social indexes, process enhancement, among others.

This is the method Child- Fund Brasil has chosen to use when applying inno- vations and improvements. Everyday, the teams identify opportunities to im- prove their processes and way of working and they have the autonomy to apply these changes in their routines.This way, a mistake is seen as an opportuni- ty for learning, which increases engagement, auton- omy and the spirit of entrepreneurship. It is a way to guarantee the method of learning 70/20/10, which states that understanding comes from 70% practice, 20% relationships and 10% training.

They were the ones res- ponsible for executing the initiatives, putting so- cial technologies and projects in practice in the areas where the institution acts. These OSPs are present in 55 municipalities and 747 communi- ties in the states of Minas Gerais, Ceará, Pernam- buco, Rio Grande do Norte, Amazonas, Piauí, Bahia e Goiás. The concept of partnership is not based on de- manding, but in building together. That is why the OSPs have independent management and receive all the support they need to adopt better practices, apply procedures and monitor their effectiveness. In 2018, ChildFund Brasil was even more present in the everyday actions of the OSPs, strengthe- ning dialog and team building to evaluate inter- nal processes and helping to define the pathways to achieve excellence in their work. From our ef- fort, the organizations were given consultations on governance, performance management, lear- ning culture, monitoring and result evaluation. The effect of our partnerships is the consistency of the OSPs to many different good market prac- tices, one of them being the elaboration of their own performance reports which are produced by every organization. Each ChildFund Brasil field unit counts on three different types of assessors, dedicated to provide support to the OSPs: • Community Development Assessor: moni- tors projects through financial indicators, activity development and number of parti- cipants, besides training the organizations technical teams on project management utilising the best tools and equipment to contribute to their success. • Impact Management Assessor: manages so- cial impact, project development, programs and social technologies. • Sponsor-Child Bond Assessor: orients and follows the sponsorship process in the OSPs so that the institutions may know how to evaluate which children can benefit from this support, identity issues or problems to deal with, besides mediating the contact between sponsor and sponsored.

The document lists 17 Sus- tainable Development Goals (SDG) and their clear unfol- ding, which can be applied by governments, private compa- nies and social organizations. According to UN’s Agenda, one of the most serious chal- lenges is to eradicate poverty, especially extreme poverty, in all forms. Our work contributes to this and other goals, choosing six main SDGs. They were consi- dered to be highly impactful by ChildFund Brasil. Scan the QR code to learn more about Sustainable Development Goals. In order to better respond to social problems, ChildFund Brasil added the Program 4 (families and communities) to the strategic portfolio. Previously it was within Program 3, as a transverse axis.

  • 15. 2928 what guides us Principles of Human Rights ChildFund Brasil defends human rights and advocates primarily defending the rights of children, adolescents and young people living in deprivation, exclusion and vulnerable situations. All our efforts target this goal. Principles of Labor Law Our organization works against child and forced labor on a daily basis through social technologies as part of our strategies towards social development. We also sup- port our employee’s associations and our policies guarantee an ethical work environment. We also conduct surveys in order to establish the level of satisfaction within the organization. Principles to protect the envi- ronment ChildFund Brasil is committed to be a paperless organization, meaning that we work towards reducing the use of paper in our offices in every department, reducing our impact on the en- vironment which is already vir- tually nonexistent, considering our core activity is social devel- opment. Apart from that, we also develop educational projects within our communities, such as the “Children’s Safe Drinking Wa- ter” project which brings drink- ing water to children at Vale do Jequitinhonha. Principles to fight corruption Our organization implements pol- icies to fight corruption (Code of Business Conduct and Ethics), pro- duces transparency reports, un- dergoes national and internation- al audits, audits its Local Partners and has an anonymous complaint channel called Whistleblower. Participation in Global Pact Brazil Network Since 2016, ChildFund Brasil has been part of the Global Pact Bra- zil Network, following the activ- ities of the Human Rights work group. We participate either in person or virtually, represented by our National Director or the Advocacy and Communications Assessor. GLOBAL PACT Since 2016, we have been been part of the Global Pact which contains 10 principles related to the en- vironment, work relations, human rights and com- bating corruption. in 2018, we delivered our first Engagement Memo (COE), a biannual document demonstrating results and reaffirming our organiza- tion’s commitment. .

  • 16. I n order to provide children, adolescents and youth with access to their rights as citizens, we must be efficient, establish life-changing part- nerships, mobilize agents for change, learn and improve constantly, measure the results of our actions and innovate. In 2018, we made a lot of progress in all of those areas. We put together a strategy to work in coalition towards the defense of human rights (advocacy), strengthened child protection by using the fam- ilies as the compass or our institutional and field activities, and we expanded our Ponte Social in- cluding new areas. We also started working with our Local Partners in a more constant manner in order to guarantee their good performance in all segments. Internally, we promoted continued education and reinforced our partnerships with established educational institutions. As a result we see thor- ough studies focused on ChildFund Brasil’s initia- tives, an incentive to enhance our processes. On the following pages you will find a summary of all our activities. ORIENTED BY CHILD PROTECTION Article 4 of the Child and Adolescent Statute states: “ It is a responsibility of the family, the community, the society as a whole and the Gov- how we work 30 31 ernment to ensure, with absolute priority, the ef- fectiveness of the minor’s rights concerning life, health, nutrition, education, sports, leasure, train- ing, culture, dignity, respect, freedom and family and community environment”. However, many children, adolescents and youth do not have ac- cess to those rights. That is why one of our main goals, from planning to field activities, is to con- tribute to ensure the basic conditions for their physical, emotional and cognitive development. Concerning the government and political con- cern to contribute to the defense of those rights, we focus on advocacy. We work to influence those making public decisions and reinforce, im- plement or monitor the execution of public poli- cies aligned with our mission. On the field, child protection is present in all of ChildFund Brasil and the Local Partner’s activi- ties. Our social technologies, projects and initia- tives are all transversal, seeking to promote safety and well-being for children, directly or indirectly, through different work fronts, providing many dif- ferent benefits aligned to our purpose. In practice, we have broadened our vision by in- cluding child protection as a goal for the spon- sored children’s activities and initiatives directed to family and community strengthening, once we consider a child must count on a safe home and neighborhood in order to feel protected. As a re- sult we see activities on many fronts that comple- ment each other and are connected seeking to confront, in some way, all of the risk factors within a community. What are our direct actions toward child protection? The role of ChildFund Brasil is to put child protection at the center of all activities. In practice, the strategy is to consider this goal in all of our field presence – either directly or indirectly. For this purpose, it is im- portant the organizations get to know the risk factors of each community and have support to develop an action plan defining which tools will be used to en- sure the well-being of the children, adolescents and youth, their families, neighbors and community. To welcome and embrace our sponsored children is a focus of all our Local Partners.Through different social technologies, they begin to count on spaces where they feel safe to share their experiences, talk about vulnerabilities, get to know their own bodies and express their feelings. Children, adolescents and youth are empowered by these policies and begin to understand their rights and responsibilities, identify situations of risk, come up with solutions through dialogue, and re- sort to a safety net in case of any violation. Another focus we have is to assess the risk factors inside the family environment, utilizing social tech- nologies and other initiatives targeting the rein- forcement of this bond, making the home a space of protection, affection and dialogue. Our conduct towards emplo- yees, collaborators, partners, providers and sponsors is gui- ded by our Child Safeguarding Policy (scan the QR code to ac- cess it). The document gathers information concerning the cor- rect conduct when approaching children and adolescents pro- tected by the organization. Apart from that, our Local Part- ners have their own policies con- cerning child protection, created with the support of ChildFund Brasil and respecting the realities of each region. The organizations also perform an annual reassess- ment of their policies. Child Safeguarding Policy How we work GRI 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, GRI 103-1, 103-2, GRI 403-1 How we work
  • 17. ADVOCACY: INFLUENCING CHANGE Unfortunately, violence against children is an en- demic reality that persists throughout the world. That is why we believe it to be essential that orga- nizations with experience on the subject of child protection work deliberately towards influencing decision makers to inforce or alter public policies related to their cause. The work must be guided by their practical work, studies and other eviden- ce able to determine the best ways to guarantee the appreciation and protection of the rights of children, adolescents and youth. Looking to develop an efficient advocacy strate- gy, ChildFund Brasil surveyed every participating community in order to identify the main issues fa- ced by the people between 0 and 24 years of age. What are the risk and protection factors in each community? What are the most severe depriva- tions? In what aspect are they most excluded? 32 33 Advocacy in ChildFund Brasil has the following goals: to influence, monitor and promote the creation and fulfillment of laws and policies related to child protection; conduct campaigns for awareness and engagement concerning childhood; reinforce alliances and the integration with the government, private sector and social organizations. The results show that domestic violence, lack of family bonds and abandonment, lack of safety in the community and drug trafficking are some of the problems which most affect the youth. The advocacy strategy in the organization is aligned with the premisses of ChildFund International and ChildFund Alliance, whose main mission is to combat violence against children. The troubling diagnosis reached during ChildFund Brasil’s field work emphasized the need to strengthen public policies to prevent such scenarios on a federal, state and municipal level. Apart from this re- search, the organization counted on the support of Pulso Público, a consulting firm that supports tertiary sector organizations with national advocacy initiatives. In other words, the only way to effecti- vely address the many issues concerning child protection is to seek solutions that are not isolated, simplistic and short- term. Therefore, it is necessary to act in a structured and coordinated manner, alongside experts from other sectors, such as social organizations, private com- panies or the government. how we work
  • 18. Child protection and combating violence against children, adolescents and young people in Brazil. Specifically, the organization will focus on preven- ting and addressing the causes for deprivation, exclusion and social vulnerability with actions divided by age groups. On all fronts, the goal is to ensure family strengthening in order to avoid abuse and domestic violence and produce a more protective environment. In practice Until 2014, ChildFund Brasil will monitor laws and public policies that represent a progress or retrogression to the fight on violence against the children, adolescents and young people of Bra- zil, promoting and mobilizing the improvement of public policies that prevent child abuse in the domestic environment. 34 35 Family strengthening is one of the goals of our advocacy strategy. The goal is to contribute so that every home becomes a space of protection, able to allow for the emotional, cognitive and physical development of children, adolescents and young people.

  • 19. SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE What is the impact of our activities? How many projects were put in place? How many sponsored children participate in the initi- atives? Looking to answer these and other questions able to measure the effectiveness of out actions, ChildFund Brasil periodically monitors its interventions and social projects. One of our best practices is the Project Perfor- mance Index (IDP), which gathers indicators that help us monitor, control, analyse and rec- ommend interventions for improvement. The monitoring process is based on the annual plan for each project, ensuring a presence that is re- sponsible, systematic and result-oriented. Another mechanism we use to help determine the effectiveness of our actions is the Child Verification System. This tool monitors the attendance and participation of each child throughout the activities, as well as their health and school development. The information from this system also support program development seeking to improve our actions or solve any issues we may encounter. This information, along with data from other sources, feeds the Social Intelligence Nucleus (NIS), a work group created in partnership with Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC-MG). Its purpose is to work towards the development of innovative and transformative programs, projects and social technologies. 36 37 182 social projects developed 747 attended communities of the annual plan accomplished IDP 2018 Results 97% In every community, ChildFund Brasil acts based onalongtermmodelofsocialinterventioncalled Sustainable Social Transformation. The strategy seeks to improve the area where the child, ado- lescent or young person lives in in order to en- sure their complete development. Our cycle of performance is 16 years long. ADVOCACY IN THE FIELD The principles defended by ChildFund Bra- sil on both state and federal levels are child protection, combating abuse and family strengthening. When addressing cities and communities, one of our goals is to train our local partners in advocacy and enhance their roles as active spokespeople. In order to better understand each reality, ChildFund Brasil worked on the develop- ment of an interactive diagnosis on the theme to evaluate the mechanisms used for child protection in the communities as well as the risk factors in each place. The result showed different and diverse channels for protection (such as family, neighbors, organizations, abuse hotline, church, school, the home, recreation center, among others), confirming the communi- ty’s potential to guarantee the well-being of children, adolescents and young people. Two other ChildFund Brasil initiatives were also highlighted in this context: the actions of Rejudes (Youth Network in Defense of their Social Rights) and the community agents (learn more about these technolo- gies on pages XX and XX, respectively). In many places, young people from Rejudes or the community agents are the ones respon- sible for communicating the community’s interests and claim for government actions or help establish new partnerships. This diagnosis was one of the documents to support the formulation of ChildFund Bras- il’s advocacy strategy. how we work
  • 20. Child sponsorship T ransforming the lives of children, adolescents and youth living in poverty is only possible because of people who mobilize in Brazil and throughout the world, involved in the same cause.

  • 22. T he main source of resources for financing the activities of ChildFund Brasil are the sponsor- ships, made by people who are interested in contributing to our cause and make monthly do- nations that support our work towards children’s well-being.This work makes us feel like we are build- ing social bridges, that is, connecting purposes, es- tablishing partnerships and contributing to reduce inequality in extremely impoverished areas. Thesupportofboththeecclesiasticsegmentandpri- vate companies have been essential for this initiative, as we have seen since 2013 with the creation of the Projeto Ponte Social (Social Bridges Project). The goal of this alliance is to gather our strengths and contrib- ute to ChildFund Brasil’s and the partner’s missions and projects. In practice, one of the most important aspects of this partnership is to encourage our part- ners to become community sponsors and, later on, to sponsor children living in poverty. With this support, ChildFund Brasil has been able to expand its presence and contribute to the improvement of communities suffer- ing with poverty and lack of access to ba- sic structures such as sanitation, nutrition, healthcare and education. One of our jobs is to identify people who can lead the endeav- or of building a social organization in the area, which will then be responsible for ap- plying social projects and technologies that benefit the community, with our advisement and assistance. Social Bridges Project Social Bridges 2018 highlights 42 SOCIAL BRIDGES: PRESENCE In 2018, ChildFund Brasil was able to establish it- self in new areas, thanks to this alliance. Along- side the ecclesiastic segment, we implemented activities in Santa Luz (PI), Anagé (BA), Cavalcante (GO) e São Vicente do Seridó (PB). In Curimatá (PI), the project was implemented through the pri- vate partnership with Fundação Lamb Watchers. During this period we were able to observe the following results: • Santa Luz (PI) and Anagé (BA): we finished our second year of activities in these towns being able to see strong community leaders, more of the youth being sponsored, and more families developing strong bonds. In 2018, the Local Part- ners were able to reinforce their presence and ex- ecute many projects and social technologies. • Cavalcante (GO): the local partner responsible for developing activities in the area was created in the last year. Its foundation was duly formal- ized within government standards, the space for its activities was structured and professionals were trained and properly hired. The OSP began its effective activities on the second semester. We also observed an increase in sponsored chil- dren in the area. • Curimatá (PI): the OSP’s main concern was to identify which projects and technologies need- ed to be implemented, a process that received the help of the community as a whole. Besides, they began to catalogue the children who may be sponsored through Ponte Social. The OSP also developed activities to stimulate volunteer- ing and family engagement, besides promoting debates and group talks to share information on their work with the government and other social organizations. • São Vicente do Seridó (PB): ChildFund Brasil’s team visited the municipality in 2018 to get to know their structures, their history, their de- mography, existing public equipments and other valuable information to support our ac- tivities in the future. 43 3.505activities put in place 3.233 28areas children, adolescents and youth catalogued in the sponsorship system of which, 2.015 have been sponsored 10.597people and 2.633 families benefited 170volunteers CHILD SPONSORSHIP

We then build strategies that allow for social developmentonabigscale,answeringto demands from education, nutrition, ener- gy, housing, income, health, environment and other sectors. ChildFund Brasil works with 11 differ- ent social technologies. The first step towards implementing it is to reach a diagnosis of the community in order to understand their main demands and challenges. After actively listening to the people, ChildFund Brasil suggests or develops the technologies that bet- ter serve that reality, considering their social, political, economical and envi- ronmental aspects. Amongst the varied activities we pro- pose, we have sportive, educational and cultural workshops, community meetings, therapy groups and lectures. These activities are guided by the Na- tional Social Assistance Policy (PNAS), established by the Unified Social Assis- tance System (SUAS).

  • 24. A moment for honest and open dialogue in which the issues of a group or communi- ty are debated. This is the structure of our therapy groups, which seeks to strengthen fami- ly and community bonds by building a solidarity network. This technology is based on five axes: systemic thought, communication theory, cul- tural anthropology, Paulo Freire’s pedagogy and resilience. It takes place in the form of circle gath- erings among people of similar age or all mem- bers of community, regardless of gender or age, mediated by qualified professionals. An example of success: In the town of São Luís do Curu (CE), Integrative Community Therapy has been acting as a space for dialogue, embracing and building the com- munity’s sense of self worth. During one of these meetings, dedicated to discussing exclusion, a young man felt comfortable enough to share the story of a trauma he had suffered years before on his birthday when he threw a party for his friends but only two of them came. He told people how he isolated himself after that and then stopped celebrating his birthday. After opening up, the young man began to socialize more and more. His birthday party now takes place at the Associação Comunitária Cultural Educacional e Agrícola do Vale do Curu, where the group therapy happens every month.

An example of success: In its second year, the group for social and finan- cial education of Associação Recreativa de So- lonópole (CE) continued to support 25 mothers from the area. Since its foundation in 2017, this initiative teaches about entrepreneurship, culi- nary and savings. Through these meetings, the women began to see cooking as a source of in- come. They began to sell traditional dishes, ho- memade candy and cakes for special occasions. Two of the members already opened their own businesses in the field.

This is the goal of this technology, to form articulators. Their responsibility is to strengthen family and community ties, contributing to build a stronger and better society in which to live. For this, the agents participate in trainings, workshops and meetings that make them able to visit families, identify problems and promote family awareness about health care, disease prevention, school attendance and other matters. An example of success: In the town of Milagres (CE), the agents in- structed by Sociedade de Assistência à Cri- ança (Child Assistance Society) made a dif- ference in their areas. After being trained in the Claves program, they have developed games and group talks with families from their communities, creating an ideal situa- tion to promote dialogue between people of different ages, stimulate affection in the family and strengthen their bonds. Community Agents 50 0 to 24 years of age 51 SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES: CHANGING REALITIES T his social technology uses photography as a tool to introduce the debate and reflection over community issues. In order to do so, the students learn about photography, civil rights, identity and responsibilities. The goal is to sharpen their perceptions and create a culture of participa- tion regarding their local realities. It is also a mo- ment for sharing ideas, connecting to the commu- nity and participating in the public sphere. An example of success: At the Olhares em Foco workshop implement- ed at the realizadas na Sociedade de Apoio à Família Carente de Crato (CE) (Family Support Society of Crato) the young Ítalo Alencar got to know about photography and found his calling. This has, since then, become an important tool for his professional growth and his path as a full citizen. Besides being a member of Rejudes Na- tional Committee, Ítalo has also gained some important artistic recognition. He won first place at the photography competition at the Universi- dade Regional do Cariri (URCA), had his pictures selected for the 1st and 2nd Cine Cariri de cul- tura, became a facilitator in photography work- shops for teenagers and youth at the OSP where he studied and in another organization as well, in the town of Barbalha.

  • 28. I n ChildFund Brasil, we use the social technolo- gy Fighting for Peace to attract young people to join our Local Partners by promoting em- powerment and protagonism to them - so they can develop their full potential. In order to reach this goal, this technology uses boxing and martial arts as tools for social inclusion and development of life skills. To be able to implement Fighting for Peace, the organizations received immersion trai- nings in Complexo da Maré (the project’s head- quarters) which targeter managers, educators and young people. Exemplo de Sucesso: Based on the tradition of using sports as a mo- tivator for change, the Associação Comunitária do Município de Medina (MG) participated in the training program Fighting for Peace in 2016. This partnership has led to good results: the children’s performances in sport has improved and they have gained notoriety in several regional and state competitions. In May 2018, for instance, the OSP brought home 30 medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the Karate Regional Cup, besides other accomplishments in different regional events. In addition, three athletes from the program ente- red the Belo Horizonte Karate Cup, in which two of them stood on the podium: one won 2nd pla- ce in the “14 to 17” category and the other won 3rd place in the“12 to 14”category.

(Youth Net- work in Defense of their Social Rights) The project began in July 2015 in the Fortaleza Field Unit (CE) and is present in over 38 municipalities in Minas Gerais and Ceará today. Its goal is to mobilize young people from the projects developed by our Local Partners in urban and rural areas to participate in activities that enhance their social experiences. The work of Rejudes is anchored in the following standards: personal, sociopolitical and holistic de- velopment, as well as being guided by the Child and Adolescent Statute (Law number 12.852/2013) which states the rights of young people such as right to sporting activities, leasure, culture, commu- nication, public safety and etc. Rejudes seeks to promote active participation and incentive young people to be the leaders in the fight for equality, dignity and enforcement of their civil rights. A different workfront within the project is aimed at strengthening their sense of identity and skills. Youth Network in Defense of their Social Rights (REJUDES) 58 The result of this activity is the empowerment of young people, who begin to know their social rights and responsibilities and see themselves as able to act aslocalmultipliersandagents.Inmanycommunities, the members of Rejudes are responsible for advocat- ing for child protection, monitoring public policies that target the cause and other priority issues. In practice, the Network is organized into national, regional and local committees, besides having an exclusive articulator in each field unity.The National Committeeisformedby16youngpeople,fourfrom each field unit, and is responsible for representing ChildFund Brasil’s youth, supporting and promot- ing national meetings, defining priority themes and planning activities. The Regional Committee is made of four people responsible for developing campaigns and activity within regions, and the Lo- cal Committee is dedicated to activities in the com- munities and is formed by four young people from each of the OSP’s projects.

These were the 2018 Free Youth Conferences, an opportunity to learn and begin to act locally. In 2018, the conferences continued with the pur- pose of elaborating proposals that ensure the civil rights of youth or monitoring ideas already pre- sented to the government. The activity is aligned with ChildFund Brasil advocacy strategy, and was an opportunity for us to see what was already be- ing done, define what measures still need to be adopted and reinforce the importance of young people’s role in being active citizens and monitor- ing local government. Anexempleofsucess: In Lavras da Mangabeira (CE), the 2nd Free Youth Conference was able to gather government representatives, schools, Centro de Referência de Assistência So- cial (CRAS), and the community to talk about their challenges and build toge- ther an action plan to tackle the issues they encountered. LocalandRegionalCommitteeMeetings The local and regional committees are the ones responsible for putting activities and campaigns into practice. Chosen by their own colleagues, the members of this group are responsible for stimulating participation, teaching about the importance of fighting for our own rights and monitoring the effectiveness of activities. They receive the support of ChildFund Brasil during the entire process. In 2018, the local and regional meetings present- ed debates on a wide range of subjects, such as entrepreneurship, UN’s agenda for sustainable development, good family living, huma rights, racism and gender equality. During the discus- sions, the young men and women were able to ask questions, learn and suggest action plans.
