ASID Brasil

What ASID Brasil does

ASID Brasil is a Brazilian nonprofit social organization founded in 2010 in Curitiba by Alexandre Amorim, Diego Tutumi, and Luiz Ribas, motivated by the exclusion faced by Amorim's sister Laura, who had Down syndrome and autism. The organization's mission is to promote socioeconomic inclusion of people with disabilities (PcD) in Brazil through four core programs: Programa Mais Educação (educational support), Programa Empreenda (entrepreneurship for PcD and families, certified as Social Technology in 2023), Programa Mundo do Trabalho (labor market preparation), and Programa Habilita (free, accessible online continuing education, certified as Social Technology in 2025). It also delivers corporate-facing services including Diagnóstico para Inclusão 360º, Potencialize talent retention, and corporate volunteering programs.

The organization's underlying technology is methodology-driven rather than software-driven: there is no proprietary platform, and delivery relies on its own validated methodologies plus partnerships with Coursera (for accessible course content), the Paralympic Committee, MDS, Empreender 360, Fluency Skills, and Acredita no Primeiro Passo. Reach is national, with programs executed across 25 Brazilian states plus the Federal District, supported by 96 investing companies (including Grupo Amil, Google, SAP, Thales, Bradesco, BTG Pactual, Grupo Boticário, São Martinho, Logcomex) and an institutional ecosystem built over 15 years.

ASID Brasil's business model is donation- and sponsorship-funded rather than commercial. Revenue in 2025 totaled R$2,002,628.04 (faturamento), generated through corporate partnership contributions, individual donations (the 'Habilite um Futuro' campaign offers scholarships at R$90–R$4,500 tiers), and likely contracted advisory work. Cumulative impact metrics include 341 social projects executed, 146,152 people directly or indirectly impacted, 2,915 PwD directly benefited in 2025 (up 167.2% vs 2024), and a 10/10 NPS on project execution. Leadership transitioned in 2025 with Isabela Bonet appointed as Executive Director, professionalizing operations above the founding trio.
