We consider as our responsibility and duty to contribute towards the development of humanitarian projects that result in improving the Brazilian social situation.

Chosen not only due to their relevance in their social projects, but also because of the effort with which they are carried out, we help, within our means:

With the mission of guaranteeing to children and adolescents with cancer, within the most advanced scientific standards, the right to attain all the chances of a cure. The Institute de Pediatric Oncology receives children and adolescents from various States of Brazil and cities of the interior of the State of São Paulo. Most of these children do not have a place to stay in order to continue their treatment, which requires an average of eighteen months of intense care. GRAACC, to offer support to these children and those that accompany them, decided to implant, in 1993, the Casa da Família (Family House) project, whose purpose is to lodge patients that live outside the State capital.

All expenses (rent, water, electricity, telephone, food, hygiene and cleaning products) are paid by GRAACC and lodging is free. Volunteers are also present at the Casa da Família: psychologists follow the development of the children and adolescents, and groups of youngsters take part in recreation and arts on Saturday afternoons.

Helping those who need to fly with their own wings. IBISS works to break the vicious circle of exclusion and marginalization, creating reference centers for youngsters involved with prostitution and people living on the streets, by encouraging self-organization. In the same way, IBISS also helps to avoid that elderly and handicapped be confined in asylums, where they usual receive inhumane treatment.

As well as various positive results for the assisted communities, that work is getting national and international recognition, confirming the importance of IBISS work for the Brazilian society. Thus, thanks to it we are, more than ever, sure that soon many more will be flying with their own wings.
