Human Network International
Human Network International is a private, non-profit organization, the various donations and practical help street children - and education projects focusing Northeast - Brazil promotes.
concept
Ecclesiastical and secular educational institutions that look after the poorest marginalized groups in favelas and poor rural districts are supported. All projects are officially or ecclesiastically recognized and have statutes, bank details and an advisory board. However, they usually receive little or no support from the local authorities and church institutions. Kindergartens for the poor, street schools and homes for children, institutions for the disabled, orphans and measures for practical vocational training are supported. By establishing a network, a human network of helpers, donors, contact persons in Germany, Brazil and other countries, the projects should be given more recognition and practical help - especially at the local level in northeastern Brazil.
target
The aim is to create a model of practical vocational training for street children and orphans in some cities in Brazil; the ultimate goal is to create their own sellable products.
