How we protect the children.

Image and identity

Brazil's Child and Adolescent Statute guarantees the right to respect, which includes preserving their image and identity (article 17), everyone's duty to keep children and teenagers safe from humiliating or embarrassing treatment (article 18) and respect for their privacy and private life (article 100, sole paragraph, V). That is why:

• on this site we do not publish the faces, names, nicknames or schools of the children in care, nor stories that could identify them;
• this site shows campaign art, donations, rooms of the home and party moments, with no identifiable children;
• we ask visitors, volunteers and partners not to photograph or film the children and not to post anything about them.

Visits and volunteering

• we ask that every visit be arranged in advance with the home's team;
• Law 9.608/1998 provides for a volunteer agreement (termo de adesão);
• we ask that gifts and donations be handed to the team, so they are shared equally among everyone.

Personal data

Data about children and teenagers is handled with special care, as required by Brazil's General Data Protection Law (article 14). The children's information stays only with the technical team and the agencies of the protection network.
