Two Brothers Foundation new article content ...

In early 1998, The Two Brothers Foundation was founded by a group of four friends who held a meeting in a small schoolhouse in the favela of Rocinha, one of the largest squatter towns of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to create a non-profit organization capable of bringing together people from all over the globe into a unique space of learning and solidarity.

The Two Brothers Foundation mission is to promote education, community service and international exchange in low-income neighborhoods in Brazil.

What we strive to:

•Create educational communities in the neighborhoods we serve •Bring together people from diverse walks of life and around the world to share their unique skills and abilities, life experiences and wisdom with each other. •Empower people to have an increasingly positive impact on the world around them, whether at the local level or on causes of social justice globally.

How we do it:

•Raise funds •Form local partnerships (based on transparency and accountability) •Select, train and supervise staff interns •Purchase, refurbish and maintain facilities •Admit and support collaborating volunteers, researchers and external interns •Promote awareness about our cause.

Volunteer students have been placed within our organization from all around the world.
