Rio de Janeiro state lottery LOTERJ has issued a public call to select up to five civil-society organisations for its social subsidy programme. The programme offers up to R$2.5m to establish and equip digital inclusion and educational support rooms for socially vulnerable adolescents aged 12 to 18.
Each project can receive up to R$ 500 thousand, with five priority territories identified: Belford Roxo, Grande Campo Grande, Manguinhos, Santa Cruz and São Gonçalo. The funding will purchase durable and permanent goods for setting up the spaces, which are intended to improve access to technology, educational support and learning and development opportunities. LOTERJ president Fabíola Esteves described the initiative as another step toward consolidating the social purpose of lottery proceeds.
LOTERJ and RioSolidario support three early-childhood education centres: Vila do João in Complexo da Maré, Jardim Batan in Realengo and Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro's west zone. The centres provide educational activities, development monitoring, meals and family support.
LOTERJ and RioSolidario support Casa Abrigo Lar da Mulher, a shelter for women and children experiencing violence. The shelter provides accommodation, meals and multidisciplinary assistance, as well as support for independence and social reintegration.
