Who we are
Get to Know the Humano Progresso Brasil Association
We promote the empowerment of children and teenagers through education, sports, culture, technology and community partnership initiatives.
The Centro Educativo João Paulo II welcomes 600 children and young people aged 6 to 18, integrating formal education with activities that foster their holistic development. Located in the area formerly known as Novos Alagados, it has been operating since 2000, providing a safe and educational environment in the morning or afternoon, complementing school hours. The center is managed by the Brazilian organization Associação Humano Progresso Brasil, with support from the Italian Fondazione Umano Progresso.

The primary concern of a true and adequate education is to educate the heart of man according to how it was originally created. True education is the education of the human being within us.
