Every child deserves to live with dignity, care, and access to opportunities. For this reason, Instituto Justiça (IJ) is proud to support Com.Paixão Kids, an organization that expands access to quality special education for children and adolescents on the autism spectrum in situations of social vulnerability.
The initiative aims to enroll these children at Centro Lumi, a specialized therapeutic and educational school located in São Paulo, which serves approximately 130 autistic students, using recognized approaches such as the TEACCH Program (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication-handicapped Children) and the ABA methodology (Applied Behavior Analysis). Among them, 25 are supported free of charge through Com.Paixão Kids, based on socioeconomic criteria.
As part of this collective effort, IJ annually sponsors two children, ensuring they have full access to the program and to the interdisciplinary services provided by the school.
We believe that every step toward equity is valuable—and that investing in lives, even one by one, is planting transformation where it matters most.
Since 2020, Instituto Justiça (IJ) has been a partner of Instituto Fazendo História (IFH), contributing with monthly donations that help expand the network of care for children and adolescents in situations of vulnerability in Brazil.
In 2024, the Arthur Pereira de Vargas Municipal School, in Canoas, suffered severe damage after remaining submerged for more than 20 days due to the intense floods that affected the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Following its commitment to support families in Rio Grande do Sul after the floods that affected several communities, Instituto Justiça (IJ) launched the Home Restructuring (RS) project. This initiative emerged as a second phase of the solidarity movement, aimed at helping people return to their homes and rebuild their routines with dignity and safety.
In May 2024, Rio Grande do Sul (RS) faced the largest climate disaster in its history. Intense rainfall caused floods and landslides that devastated entire cities, cut off access routes, and destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses.
