About Us
CIREASS is registered as a non-profit association, founded at the initiative of the social worker Cassia da Conceição Lemmerholz on 28th of March, 2016. It aims to provide children from economically and socially disadvantaged families on the outskirt of Jaboatão dos Guararapes - in the metropolitan area of Recife-Pernambuco/Brasil - connected with a targeted educational and social support in education, culture and leisure to have a better access to social coexistance. Particular emphasis is placed on resilience of these children.
​
Our Idealogy
In our work as educators we offer to the children space, time and freedom they need in order to prepare for their future socio-cultural role in adulthood.
​
How We Work
​
Our work includes tutoring, homework help, relaxation, reading, singing and excursions. We offer to the children good conditions for learning, promote the development of their social role and show ways to change their way of life in order to break the vicious circle in which they find themselves.

​
Target Group
Children from 3 to 10 years old living in poor villages of the municipality Jaboatão dos Guararapes in the metropolitan area of Recife, capital of the state Pernambuco in Brazil.​
