Oportunidade & Dignidade
Two years ago, Veja met Villaget, a Brazilian NGO working to promote social justice. The association helps young people of a poor neighbourhood in Porto Alegre, South Brazil, to get work opportunities.
Instead of spending idle time in the streets, the young people get a free professional training in shoes creation. They go at school in the morning and in the afternoon they learn how to make shoes. The olders teach the youngers basis of design, shoe modeling and confection.
Veja has been impressed by the energy of the local team and decided to develop a concrete project with them.
The young people of the association have designed baby sneakers in organic cotton for Veja. They are now in charge of the confection of the small baby shoes.
Veja BêBê sneakers are distributed in child stores in Europe.
Good luck to the Villaget "guris" (boys) !
