At Engenho Novo, we operate through the Lectícia Fonseca Sociocultural Center , serving children and adolescents from 6 to 14 years of age in social vulnerability in the communities of Morro do Macacos, São João and Encontro (Complexo do Lins) .
In a region where violence is constant in children's routines, the unit has become a center for encouraging peace, using the culture of peace as a driver of its activities and integrating work with family and school.
