The Sisters of Mary opened their Brasilia Girlstown program in 2002, which serves to educate young girls aged 12-18 years old from grade 6 to 9 ; girls coming from the poorest of poor families throughout Brazil. From a chaotic early life, the girls at Brasilia Girlstown can begin to enjoy their childhood, regain their health, thrive at school and learn the skills they need to build a productive future for themselves and their families.
The girls at Brailisa are energetic and are encouraged to enjoy a variety of activities. The girls receive full-time care, three regular meals a day, full healthcare support and have access to onsite facilities which include vocational training workshops, sports facilities, a large gymnasium with a stage and a dental clinic that provides support to the girls at school and the local community.

Through the programs at Brasilia Girlstown, the girls receive specialized training in areas such as culinary arts, dressmaking, dental hygiene and nursing. There is a great need for nurses and dentists in Brazil and the girls have great success in achieving work in these areas after they graduate.
All of this is only possible through the generosity of people like you. Every child deserves a good start in life and with your help we can continue to make this a reality.
