The Projects

During our 12 years in Campo Largo working with Open Hands, 28 houses have been built across three sites, with a further two almost finished and two final homes to be built this year. Come and help bring a close to the building aspect of the current project, we know they would LOVE to see some new faces and especially welcome some familiar ones back again. These homes have - and will continue to - help families move out of the favelas and transition to a home of their own for a brighter future.

In 2021 our project will move to support ENCONTRO COM DEUS - a sanctuary for very young mothers, and mums with children who have been taken out of dangerous domestic situations. An informative and popular afternoon visit for teams in recent years, we will be helping to refurbish and redecorate the accommodation and gardens.

Help us finish this campaign with a big impact! 

You'll also visit other community-led projects, such as Lar Feliz – A home for vulnerable children that aims to keep siblings together and CEIFAR- a men’s residential addiction treatment centre.

Rest and Relaxation

For some down-time, you’ll visit Cananeia: Take a boat trip through the world-famous mangroves and witness some incredible wildlife. Walk through the Atlantic Forest to a beautiful waterfall and swim in the natural pool, before venturing on to beautiful beaches.
