Fundação Solidariedade

What Fundação Solidariedade does

Fundação Solidariedade is a Brazilian non-profit public-utility entity (entidade de utilidade pública) founded in 1989 and headquartered in Campo Magro, Paraná, that provides temporary shelter care and cultural education to children and adolescents at social risk in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. Its core shelter program operates six Casas Lares (family-style homes) capable of housing up to 42 minors aged 0–18 who are referred by the Juizados da Infância e Juventude following abandonment, abuse, neglect, or unfitness of guardians; services include psychological and social assistance, nutrition, individualized pedagogical support, and pathways to family reintegration, national adoption, or autonomous life preparation. A 24-person multidisciplinary team — including social workers, psychologist, pedagogues, nutritionist, environmental educator, social mothers, and instructors — delivers this care, with formal outcomes tracking 30–39 acolhimentos, 3–8 family reintegrations, and 2–7 national adoptions annually in 2023–2025.

The foundation complements shelter care with a portfolio of cultural programs operated primarily through its Casa Verde subsidiary site in Curitiba (Bairro CIC). Casa Verde delivers free workshops in orchestral music (Orquestra de Cordas Solidariedade, since 2004), theater (Teatro da Trilha, since 2005), urban dance (Grupo de Danças Urbanas Artes da Trilha, since 2014), and "Cultural Technology," serving roughly 175–190 students per year across nine workshops. Cultural programming is funded under Brazil's Lei de Incentivo à Cultura (Rouanet Law), enabling corporate sponsorship in exchange for tax incentives. In 2018, the foundation integrated with the A.DOT smartphone application — developed by the Corregedoria-Geral da Justiça do Paraná and partners — to surface its sheltered children to prospective adopters in the Cadastro Nacional de Adoção.

The organization is funded entirely through donations, with no fees charged to beneficiaries. Four revenue channels exist: (1) direct bank deposits to a Bradesco account, (2) individual and corporate income-tax redirection (up to 6% for individuals, 1% for companies) via the Fundo Municipal da Criança e Adolescente of Campo Magro, (3) in-kind donations of clothing, food, furniture, and hygiene products, and (4) corporate sponsorship of Rouanet-listed cultural projects. The foundation operates without parent company, venture backing, or publicly traded securities, and is governed by its own board (most recently elected for the 2025–2028 term). It is LGPD-compliant and operates under the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA, Law 8.069).

• A.DOT (Aplicativo A.DOT)minorOthers · 30 July 2018A.DOT is a smartphone application developed by the Corregedoria-Geral da Justiça do Paraná, CONSIJ, Agência Bla&Blu, and GAACO, with support from the Tribunal Regional do Trabalho and Ministério Público do Paraná. The app connects children available for adoption with prospective adopters registered in the Cadastro Nacional de Adoção (CNA). The first adoption facilitated by the app involved siblings S. and J., who were sheltered at Fundação Solidariedade, being adopted by a couple after approximately one month of contact through the platform. The foundation's sheltered children have been featured on the app to increase their visibility to potential adoptive families.

Direct peers

• Aldeias Infantis SOS Brasil: Operates the SOS Children's Villages foster-care model in Brazil, providing family-based residential care for children and adolescents who have lost parental care. Directly comparable residential-foster mission with similar target population and family-reintegration goals to Fundação Solidariedade.
• Lar Sírio: Brazilian nonprofit providing residential care and social support to children, adolescents, and families in vulnerability. Operates shelter programs analogous to Casas Lares and shares the child-welfare mission.
• Casa do Zezinho: São Paulo-based nonprofit offering integrated social, educational, and cultural programs to children and youth from low-income communities — combining shelter-adjacent services with arts and citizenship programming, similar to Fundação Solidariedade's Casa Verde cultural-plus-social model.
• Terra dos Homens: Brazilian NGO supporting children and adolescents at social risk through residential and community programs, with documented family reintegration and shelter outcomes comparable to Fundação Solidariedade's work.
• Associação Brasileira Terra dos Homens: Brazilian NGO focused on defending the rights of children and adolescents, including shelter, advocacy, and reintegration programs. Operates residential and community-based services targeting the same at-risk youth population in Brazil.
• Lar Batista de Crianças: Long-running Brazilian nonprofit providing residential shelter and care for children and adolescents separated from family. Directly comparable residential child-welfare mission.

Broad incumbents

• ChildFund Brasil: Brazilian arm of an international NGO supporting children in vulnerable situations via community development, sponsorship, and child protection programs. Comparable target population and donor-supported model, though larger in scale and geographic scope.
• Fundação CASA (Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo ao Adolescente): São Paulo state-run shelter system serving adolescents in conflict with the law and at-risk youth. While primarily state-operated and broader in mandate, it is the largest comparable residential child/youth care operator in Brazil and a structural reference point for the sector.
• Fundação Abrinq: Major Brazilian foundation focused on child and adolescent rights, operating programs in education, health, and protection. A broader incumbent in the child welfare space with overlapping advocacy and program goals, though without the residential shelter component.

Regional players

• Instituto Jô Clemente: São Paulo-based nonprofit supporting people with intellectual disabilities through health, education, and social inclusion programs. An adjacent peer operating in the broader child/vulnerable-population social-services ecosystem with comparable scale.
