The Project
WHO WE ARE
Mão do Bem, “the good hand” is a community project in the favela Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We are a team of international and local volunteers with different backgrounds, plus a group of 50 families living in Rocinha. We provide handouts of food with an educational event on a monthly basis thanks to our volunteers and generous donors.
Our aim is to improve the physical, and mental wellbeing of families and individuals who live in Rocinha through monthly food distributions and education. The food baskets, ‘cesta basicas’ includes kitchen and household groceries and an organic food and vegetable basket, ‘cesta organica’ fresh produce from local farmers in Rio, Valenca, and Petropolis.
Mão do Bem is a non-profile organization who relies on private donations from around the world, and partners in Rio de Janeiro to provide food and education for the group.
