Gerando Falcões, which entered 2021 with operations in 289 favelas in Brazil, closed the year at 1,700. By 2022, the NGO plans to reach more than 5,700 communities.
Among its education projects, Gerando Falcões states that this year, it trained more than 1,700 young people in different training courses, a number that should approach 12 thousand graduates next year, according to the NGO’s projections.
Founded in 2011 by entrepreneur Edu Lyra as a driver of innovation and leadership projects in favelas, Gerando Falcões has multiplied its projection in the pandemic by raising tens of millions in donations from large businessmen for campaigns to fight hunger.
