In 2003, a group of Brazilian women in Phoenix, Arizona formed a volunteer group to help the children of impoverished towns and villages of northeastern Brazil. They began   hosting fund-raising events featuring the food and culture of Brazil, and eventually formed an incorporated, non-profit organization called CASA BRAZIL, Inc. Today, CASA BRAZIL raises over $20,000.00 a year to feed, clothe and educate more than 400 children at the Semeador Facility in the village of Paripuera, located 2 hours South of Fortaleza, State of Ceara, Brazil. CASA BRAZIL also distributes toys to the children each holiday season as well as food baskets for the teachers and their assistants.

 Fundraising undertaken by CASA BRAZIL is conducted exclusively by volunteers, to ensure that contributions to the organization go directly to helping the children. The success of CASA BRAZIL'S mission depends entirely upon the on-going generosity of the Arizona Brazilian Community, teachers and students of Arizona State University, our American friends and a special 2009 donation from the Consular Corps of Arizona Foundation.  

Please join us and hundreds of other generous Arizonans in this worthwhile effort.
