Core offering

Instituto Ebenézer is a Brazilian nonprofit organization that provides free, holistic child development services to children aged 0–14 and their families in the Jardim Ângela district of São Paulo. Its five core programs cover early childhood stimulation, cultural enrichment, psychosocial support, school reinforcement, and youth technical training in software development. All services are funded by individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and crowdfunding.

Product overview

Instituto Ebenézer operates as a unified social impact organization offering five interconnected programs for children and youth in Jardim Ângela, São Paulo. The core offerings include Primeira Infância (early childhood development for ages 0-5) and Laboratório de Sonhos (cultural enrichment for ages 6-11), which form the foundation of the organization's child protection mission. These are supplemented by transversal support services: Apoio Psicossocial e Saúde Mental (psychosocial support and mental health services) and Reforço Escolar (school reinforcement, delivered in partnership with Alicerce Educação). The fifth program, Favela Developers Academy, extends the organization's reach to technical training and employability for older youth, creating a pathway from early childhood development through technology careers.
