Why Become a Zezinho's Partner?

Founded in 1994 by educator Dagmar Rivieri, affectionately known as "Tia Dag," Casa do Zezinho is located in one of São Paulo's most challenging areas, known as the "Triangle of Death," which includes the neighborhoods of Capão Redondo, Jardim Ângela, and Jardim São Luís. Our mission is to provide these children and young people with two daily meals and over 25 options for socio-educational workshops during out-of-school hours.

With your help, we can continue to serve our 1,200 Zezinhos daily, offering four hours of activities that make a difference in their lives. Since our founding, we have impacted more than 32,000 individuals, and we are proud to say that over 60% of our staff are people who were Zezinhos during their childhood and adolescence.

Your Donation Makes a Difference!

Becoming a Zezinho's Partner means investing in the future of our children and young people. Each monthly contribution allows us to:

Ensure healthy and balanced meals for all Zezinhos.
Maintain and expand our socio-educational workshops, essential for the integral development of the children.
Reduce the waiting list, welcoming more children and young people into our institution.
Be Inspired by Our Story

Inspired by Carlos Drummond de Andrade's poem "And now, José?" we transformed the question into a positive affirmation: "It’s now, José!" At Casa do Zezinho, the 'nobodies' and 'underdogs' are given the chance to dream, set goals, and carve their own path to overcome the hardships of poverty.

It’s simple and quick! Choose the amount of your monthly donation. Every donation, no matter the amount, is essential to keeping our mission alive and strengthening it.

Join us and be part of this transformation. Become a Zezinho’s Partner and help us continue being a safe harbor and a beacon of hope for so many children and young people!

Hr Franz Hafner - our first International angel

Franz Hafner, a German and founder of Murrelektronik Brazil, first connected with Casa do Zezinho in 1995. Since then, both he and his daughter, Caroline Hafner-Pinnel, have maintained close relationships with the community. They know the situation on the ground well and understand that every helping hand and every smile counts.

For over 25 years, Murrelektronik has supported Casa do Zezinho. Our motto, "stay connected," takes on a deeper meaning, signifying a special responsibility for us. That’s why we don’t just provide financial donations – our local colleagues and members of the Murrelektronik family are personally involved.

The children and Casa do Zezinho are close to our hearts, and they can count on our continued commitment. With your help, we can achieve even more. Your support reaches them directly – without deductions – and goes where it truly makes a difference.
