Opportunity
Opportunity for the children… We are beginning the year with our video flying over the CBC site. Marc never dreamed that 42 years after starting to help street children, he would be responsible for the buildings, landscaping, and maintenance of this incredible space.
Opportunity for you…
The rains have arrived early, bringing challenges but we are better prepared than ever with pumps and a new retaining wall. However, CBC needs a generator to run these pumps when common power outages occur. The measures taken to prevent flooding are helping immensely but they all depend on the pumps working during intense rainfall AND power outages. Without a generator, the whole site is at risk. Generators are more expensive in Brazil than in the USA. There is opportunity for you to give and help us raise the funds needed to purchase a generator.
- The generator will cost $12,000.
- Diesel, 20.6 kva, 3 phase
- Motor 4T 1908 CC – 380V
Remembering the Why!
In parts of north-eastern Brazil, 90% of children and young people live in poverty. These conditions weigh on children resulting in anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Students growing up in the slums live in a state of immense fear with little to no hope.
We are transforming the lives of these children with quality Christian education and training. The public school system in Brazil only offers 4 hours of schooling per day. Education gradually becomes less of a priority as schools are unreliable, overcrowded, and uninspiring. Over 50% of students drop out by the time they are 11 years old.
It is into these conditions that Channel to Brazil for Christ offers faith, hope and opportunity. We work with students on a daily basis, filling up the school day by providing an extra 4 hours of education to help them succeed, stay off the streets, and stay in school. Our students come in the morning and go to public school in the afternoon or vice-versa. CBC has over 40 years of experience building stronger families and stronger communities.
