Brazil

Brazil Partnership

It is estimated that 14.5% of Brazil’s population is disabled in some capacity. However, only 20% of schools allow access for children with disabilities, hampering their ability to engage in society. SHGO’s partner, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is the Israelite Center of Multidiscipline Support (CIAM). CIAM supports over 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities, promoting inclusion and engagement through educational and recreational activities.
