LAST CHANCE! 2020 will be Mission Direct’s 12th and final year working with Open Hands in Campo Largo, where teams have helped to build transitional homes to help move families out of the favela and into a home of their own in a safer, more secure environment. Teams will help complete any outstanding work, putting finishing touches to the homes and surrounding area, and will help celebrate the end of a truly wonderful campaign.
During our 12 years in Campo Largo working with Open Hands, 30 houses have been built across three sites, with a further two to be completed this year. Come and help bring a close to this wonderful 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.
Help us finish this campaign with a big impact!
You'll also visit and support work at 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.
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.
The teams in Brazil Campo Largo have been doing an incredible job. Here are a few of the most recent stories and stats from the projects...
