Developing Minds Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.

Our Projects

Our projects range from reeducating and rehabilitating former child soldiers of the guerrilla in Colombia to building and supporting computer & technology schools in Rio de Janeiro’s violent favelas, including in City of God.

In impoverished and deeply troubled communities, we combine elements of a traditional education and vocational skills, along with psychological and social rehabilitation, to address core emotional issues that may affect our students. Our concentration is on making fundamental contributions that can have the greatest impact on preparing students to avoid social exclusion and to take full advantage of opportunities society has to offer.
