Welcome to Casa Brazil!

Casa Brazil is a non-profit organization according to IRS 501 ©(3) rules and regulations established in Arizona in 2003. Casa Brazil was founded with the purpose of assisting children in underprivileged communities in Brazil.

As a nonprofit organization, Casa Brazil strives to sustain its long-term mission of supporting communities in the fight against malnutrition as well as strengthening children’s educational path in hopes of a better future.

All funds raised by Casa Brazil through events and donations provide one hot meal a day for over 475 underprivileged children. During the Holiday Season, Casa Brazil also distributes food baskets and educational toys.

Casa Brazil not only wants to help underprivileged communities but is also engaged and committed to being a part of the change. Our Board of Directors wholeheartedly believes in the impact love and care can have on a child’s future. Casa Brazil is committed to listening to the needs of those communities as well as helping with funds.

All donations received by Casa Brazil are 100% used for the benefit of the children and all work is done by volunteers.
