Extend Your Hands Project
The project "EXTEND YOUR HANDS" was created with the purpose of obtaining financial contributions, through sponsorships, partnerships with companies, or even donations of another kind, so that we can continue to provide dignified assistance to children, young people and adults enrolled in our projects.
Our social works are mostly maintained through donations. Hence the incessant search for people and companies that believe in our work and want to embrace this cause with us.
It is very easy to sponsor: just fill in the membership form and send it to our address.
