The Janela para o Mundo Institute was conceived to pursue meaningful and sustainable change, focusing on local support for global challenges based on the Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs.
With an action premise that fosters a virtuous cycle that looks inward and builds opportunities outward.
It operates through the Education Centers built as formal and informal learning places with the structure for developing several courses, activities, and stimulus to the social integration of the communities where they are located, as a space for coexistence and knowledge exchange.

The Education Centers are places where we work on intentional teaching and education. In the same way, we inspire students to believe in the transformation that education can enable. They constantly discover the best strategies to solve global issues by taking a local approach.
Now I think I will be able to get into college. In the beginning, I did not know much about writing. My first grade was 400, and today my score is 980. I really want to change my future, and I have the best expectations for my future from now on.
I never thought of leaving Paulino Neves, and I want to contribute to the education of my town. The Education Center came at a crucial moment for this to happen, and I am thrilled to be part of it. When I listen to Window to the World, I see that it is a world of opportunities for me as a professional and for the young people of Paulino Neves who had no access to it.
The Education Center will have a significant impact on my children's future. Their development is much better. It is a very good place; the students are increasingly in love with it daily. The staff is excellent, and they work with great respect for our children.
We embrace opportunities to build simple, specific solutions that align with our purpose, value local talents and characteristics, and enable enduring, consistent solutions.
We generate shared value with tangible results and measured impact, reaching R$6.51 in social return for every R$1.00 invested.
