RATIONAL FOR THE AMO PROJECT

tocamo1

Founded in April, 1991, by a group of education and health professionals, AMO is a non-government organization preoccupied with the precarious situation and vulnerability of the children in the community of Rio Doce, Olinda, in the infamous North-East of Brazil.

The founders of the AMO School wanted to give these children an alternative to loitering and working on the street by providing them with special activities in a school setting which would cater to their identified needs:

  • a need for sufficient food to supplement food at home
  • a need to be literate at the Grade One level upon leaving the AMO School
  • a need to have self-esteem and self-worth
  • a need to obtain skills of sharing, co-operating and being respectful
  • a need to obtain skills to cope with the violence in society
  • a need for improvement of the family income and housing
  • a need to learn income-generating skills for making cultural items to sell in the market
