Progress by Focus Area
Cultural Expression & Community Outreach The Estúdio Brota Podcast continues to grow strong, we’ve now produced 30 episodes exploring culture, artistic expression, and business innovation in the favela.
We also organized 14 community events that helped deepen local connections and bring people together.
Boosting the Local Economy Our collaborative store has been a real success story. It now features products from 32 talented Vidigal-based entrepreneurs. Handmade crafts remain the bestseller!
Impact-Focused Tourism Over the past six months, we’ve welcomed 700+ conscious travelers. Guests continue to enjoy authentic experiences such as passinho dance classes, capoeira sessions, and percussion workshops. We’re proud of our ongoing partnerships with Gv Adventures and A & K Tour.
At the heart of everything we do in Vidigal is the conviction that creativity, collaboration, and empathy are the foundations of real change. Behind every number is a powerful story of skill development, new opportunities, stronger community ties, and expanding markets for local makers.
None of this would be possible without the continued support of donors like you. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us turn ideas into real, lasting impact.
We’d love to keep you updated, stay connected!
