SOS Criança Brasil
Who we are
SOS Criança Brasil was established as a foundation in Bern on August 16, 2001 and converted into a charitable association in 2025 in accordance with Article 60 of the Swiss Civil Code. Our goal is to offer hope and support to children in need and children with disabilities in northeastern Brazil, particularly in the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte. These regions are among the poorest in the country, which is why our commitment is particularly important here.
Over the years, we have built a strong network of dedicated supporters in Brazil and Switzerland. This network ensures that donations reach the places where they are needed most urgently – with minimal administrative effort and maximum impact for the children on the ground.
