Globalaw supports communities in need. 

Mission Belém

Mission Belém is an association that shelters people living on the streets and helps them with a rehabilitation process. Once their health has improved significantly, and if they desire, the rescued people become volunteers inside the association – preparing the food, cleaning the space, receiving training, helping the elderly, amongst other services. These people receive the opportunity of having a second chance in life and choosing a better path, which is why Mission Belém plays a fundamental role in the lives of many people contributing to the construction of a more just and supportive society. The mission offers not only material assistance but also spiritual and emotional support to those most in need, providing food, a safe and welcoming place, as well as an opportunity to live the Catholic faith and get to know the love of Christ. They assist in the search for documents, jobs, and other essential services, aiming for social reintegration. The rescued people are encouraged to bond with each other, promoting a sense of belonging and building real friendships. Mission Belém works to restore human dignity and hope, and promote social inclusion by helping people overcome their difficulties and reintegrate into society.

Ludovico Pavoni

Ludovico Pavoni is a non-governmental community center that offers an after-school program to 147 children aged from 4 to 12 living in underprivileged communities. Ludovico aims to provide a safe environment to keep children off the streets, so children who study in the afternoon go to the Community Center in the morning, and those who study in the morning go to the center in the afternoon. Ludovico has a methodology that is based on values and virtues, investing time to work on character development and teaching children to share and respect one another. Even though Ludovico does not rely on any government funding - surviving solely through donations - the center provides breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack to guarantee the children's nutrition, as there are cases in which these are the only meals the kids eat by not having a lot of food at home. To cover their monthly expenses, the center holds fundraising events throughout the year, such as bingo games, benefit lunches, and auctions. Thank you for your donation – you are keeping the community center running and many children safe, off the streets!
