Founded in 2011, we are committed to social transformation.
Instituto C is a non-profit social organization based in São Paulo that works alongside families with children and adolescents living in situations of social vulnerability. Our goal is to help them build autonomy and develop awareness of their rights and responsibilities.
We work hand in hand with each family, offering tools to foster a positive environment that strengthens their potential and supports a more independent life. Our approach is both preventive and proactive, grounded in the defense and promotion of social rights through ongoing support.
We engage with families through welcoming support, guidance and referrals, coordination with social and intersectoral networks, discussion groups to strengthen family bonds, and actions that promote access to information, communication, and active citizenship.
All projects developed by Instituto C are rooted in care, qualified listening, multidisciplinary collaboration, and networked action — values that are fundamental to our work.
