PedraViva is a registered charity (no 1095638)
Our aims are to support existing or new Christian charities in Brazil, in their work amongst children who need help. This is mainly in the education of children from extremely poor communities, as a means of helping them avoid becoming ‘street children’ and by giving them much improved life prospects. In some projects we also help to provide food and accommodation. We aim to help the projects we support to become self-sufficient wherever possible.
