Alexandre Mérieux and bioMérieux Brazil Commit to Helping São Paulo’s Children
Building Bridges to Future Opportunities
"We tear down walls to build bridges" is the motto of Arca do Saber.
The Franco-Brazilian nonprofit, located in the heart of the Vila Prudente favela district, is committed to giving children, teenagers, and their families the chance of a better future.
The Endowment-supported project offers educational activities to vulnerable children in the favela and trains educators to enhance their pedagogical skills. Since 2022, more than 44 children have benefited from the project, and 12 professionals have participated in specialized training.
