What Projeto Educacional E Social Casa Da Amizade does

Projeto Educacional e Social Casa Da Amizade (PESCA), operating under the trade name Casa Batista da Amizade, is a Brazilian nonprofit civil society organization (Organização da Sociedade Civil de fins não econômicos) headquartered at Rua Miguel Galvão, 30 - Engenho Novo, Rio de Janeiro. Founded in 1954 under the umbrella of UFMBB (União Feminina Missionária Batista do Brasil) and legally constituted as PESCA in November 2002, the organization delivers social services to children aged 4–11 and elderly persons aged 60+ in the Complexo do Lins de Vasconcelos. Programming is structured into three age-segmented child projects — Amizade 1 (ages 4–6), Amizade 2 (ages 7–8), and Amizade 3 (ages 9–11) — plus the Ativa Idade coexistence group for seniors, all delivered through the federal Serviço de Convivência e Fortalecimento de Vínculos framework.

Core service offerings include daily meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks) for child participants, alongside artistic-cultural, recreational, sports, nutritional, play-based, and socio-pedagogical activities designed to address food insecurity, social vulnerability, exposure to violence, and weakened family/community ties. Spiritual formation grounded in Biblical principles is positioned as the organization's transformative differentiator, intended to build resilience, identity, and protective factors against environmental risk. The technology stack is minimal: a public-facing website (casabatistadaamizade.org.br) with an online donation checkout supporting one-time and monthly recurring contributions of suggested R$100–R$300 amounts, with WhatsApp and email contact channels.

The revenue model is entirely donation-based. Funding flows primarily through the AMAM (Amigos da Amizade) supporter network — individuals, churches, private institutions, associations, and companies — with institutional authorization and historical support from parent organization UFMBB. Go-to-market is community-led: volunteer recruitment, word-of-mouth, and grassroots outreach within the target neighborhood, with no paid marketing or commercial sales motion. Current leadership is held by Elisabete Rodrigues da Costa, who assumed the directorship in 2023 after serving as Social Worker since 2016.
