Casa das Mangueiras

What Casa das Mangueiras does

Casa das Mangueiras (legal name: Casa Das Mangueiras de Ribeirão Preto – SP) is a Brazilian nonprofit social organization founded in 1973 in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, operating from a single physical site with 39 staff. Its mission is the protection and development of children and adolescents in situations of social risk and vulnerability in the municipality, complemented by evening programs open to youth and adult community members. The organization delivers a unified portfolio of 13 free programs spanning artistic education (Percussion, Choir, Guitar, Theater, Visual Arts, Urban Dance, Circus), educational technology (Educacross gamification platform with 1,500+ adaptive games, Digital Inclusion), health education (Valorizando a Saúde across physical, mental/emotional, social, and sexual health axes), martial arts (Judo), and fitness (Fitdance, community Capoeira, Passinho dance, Basketball School with Instituto Anderson Varejão). Programs run morning/afternoon for children and adolescents and evening for the broader community. Technology underpinning the educational offering is the third-party Educacross platform, which provides adaptive gamification mechanics and epistemic games with mapped pedagogical interventions for cognitive development.

The organization operates as a civil society organization (associação sem fins lucrativos / OSC) with no products or services sold. All programs are free to beneficiaries; funding flows from one-time and recurring donations, income tax destination, Nota Fiscal Paulista solidarity donations, the Apoia.se crowdfunding platform, and a network of corporate sponsors (Banco do Brasil, Rodonaves, Algar, Ri Happy, COPERCANA, Passalacqua, Instituto Credcitrus) and government/institutional partners (SEMAS, CMDCA, Banco de Alimentos, Mesa Brasil SESC, CEAGESP). Governance disclosures include a Selo Doar certification, Selo Transparência, ONG Verificada verification, and Selo OSC (Ipea) registration. Outreach uses the website, blog, social media, and community performance events. Distribution is direct program delivery at the Ribeirão Preto site with no digital channel for service consumption. Geographic scope is regional — Southeast Brazil, confined to Ribeirão Preto.
