THALITA PROJECT WITH
STREET GIRLS IN MACEIO, ALAGOAS, BRAZIL
Partner: Thalita
 For
the Thalita project, the "Hope and Life" Association
aims to re-integrate street girls into their families and to restore
their dignity. The association uses a three-pronged approach to
working with street girls. They work on the streets where the
girls gather in order to gain their trust. They work in the project
houses to provide education, social work, psychological and medical
support and they work with the girls' families.
CFCA supports these initiatives by providing
a project house where girls can stay to receive therapy, vocational
training, and support workshops. The project aims to empower girls
and to give them concrete skills that they can use to overcome
poverty and the hazards of living and working on the streets.
