Many organizations raise funds for various causes, and we deeply respect the important work they do. However, since 2002, we have been leading tours in Rocinha with local guides, and over these years, we’ve gained invaluable experience and insight into the social issues and needs that often go unnoticed.

Each year, we welcome approximately ten thousand visitors to our favela through our tours, with many more arriving through other companies. Despite our significant efforts to support as many projects as possible within Rocinha, it’s still not enough to meet all the needs. That’s why we’re reaching out to kindly ask for your support to help make these dreams a reality.

Favela Walking Tour welcomes you to our social program inside Rocinha

What happens to your donation?

Why donate?

Many organizations in favelas like Rocinha receive no government funding, making day-to-day survival a constant challenge. We’ve outlined some of the social work we do in Rocinha. These are the programs we support inside our community:

Basic food supplies to local families
Clothing and sports equipment
Educational opportunities through sports

For only $1 a month, you can make a real difference in the lives of those living in Brazil’s favelas. Your contribution will help fund vital projects that provide education, healthcare, and opportunities for children and families who need it most.

Why $1? Because we believe that everyone can be a part of positive change. With your support, we can empower communities, build a brighter future for our kids at Rocinha Favela, and ensure that no one is left behind.

Basketball for everyone

In order to continue our support to our community, we decided to team up with Leandro de Souza, a Brazilian former basketball player whose dream is to give access for the local kids to not only have a clean playground to play after school but also an opportunity to show their talent through sports.

Football for everyone

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports activities that help keep them away from drugs. Through our Social Program, in partnership with the Fusão social project (@fusaobrasil), we’ve reached countless children in Rio over the past 10 years.
