About CARE

CARE is an international NGO focused on fighting global poverty and defending dignity and belongs to the ten biggest NGO specialised in International Solidarity.

In 2010, Lyreco For Education supports the education of children in Brazil. Lyreco For Education partners with CARE to develop the "Duque de Caxias" project in Rio de Janeiro.

    Duque de Caxias is a suburb which suffers from:

  • Significant problems of violence,
  • Very high absenteeism and drop-out rates in school.

Objective

To create an "Educating Community" which brings together schools, community organisations and children.

Programme

To encourage young people themselves to act as volunteer agents for change within their own communities.

In total, we strive to raise enough money to support 5 primary school and 5 nursery schools and to therefore help 3000 children.
