Finalized Projects
Right from the start of our journey back in 2010, we have already entered into partnerships with many different philanthropic institutions, been part of scientific nuclei, organized forums, and taken part in volunteering campaigns. Many of these projects are still bearing fruit, with new developments expected for the coming years. Below, you will find more details about the initiatives we have now finalized.
COVID-19
With the intensification of the pandemic in Brazil, the Foundation understands that this would be the crucial moment to act in defense of the more vulnerable children and teenagers. Thus, the Board of the institution has approved, as emergency funding, an additional budget of BRL 1 million, for philanthropic institutions that serve needy families.
The donations were made between April and December 2020, being distributed, as priorities, for actions that promoted food security, complementary income, and support for health.

The total sum mobilized was over BRL 7 million and, in all, 265 projects from the five regions of the country received some support, directly helping over 222 thousand people living in outlying urban districts.
Initiatives
Mobilização Empresarial pela Primeira Infância
Launched at the end of 2018, the goal of this Project was to bring together, sensitize, inform and train businesspeople for the development of activities in favor of early childhood, together with their staff and in the communities where they are located. Early childhood is defined as the period between birth and age 6, and is considered by experts as the key period of child development, having an influence on the whole of a person’s future.
FJLES had the support of FIESP and ReadyNation, a non-profit organization that is active around the world, seeking economic development starting out from an investment in youth. This initiative was discussed at the ReadyNation Global Meeting on Early Childhood, in New York City, where 230 business leaders from 16 different countries had a meeting to share best practices around the issue of early childhood as a business strategy to boost the economy.
This Project had a total of 245 participants in workshops. In the activities carried out, we have had the presence of Dr. Fátima Fernandes as a representative of FJLES, members of the ConSocial of FIESP (Dr. Raul Cutait and Gracia Fragalá), representatives of ReadyNation (Robert H. Dugger and Daniel Frank), and invited guests (like City Councilor Janaína Lima, Dr. Ricardo Paes de Barros, Dr. Edson Amaro and professors Nathan A. Fox, from the University of Maryland, and Charles Zeanah from Tulane University).
