Task Brasil – supporting street children's individual needs

Task Brasil Trust is a UK-registered charity which aims to provide care and support and to enable children to develop their independence and self-esteem.


Casa Jimmy

Task Brasil's first residential home was set up in 1998 with a donation from ABC founding patron, Jimmy Page. It can accommodate 25 children, with the ultimate aim of reuniting them with their families, or, alternatively, finding them adoptive families.

ABC provided substantial support for Task Brasil for many years, ending in 2007.

Region: Rio de Janeiro
Type of Work: Provision of basic needs; shelter; education; outreach

Activities provided by Task Brasil projects have included education and training; health services and health and sex education; food; drug rehabilitation; accommodation; income generation opportunities; counselling and personal support.


Pamela, aged 5, lived at Casa Jimmy for three years. She is intelligent and has blossomed since being fitted with her new prosthetic leg; she now enjoys running and playing with the other children. After the authorities decided Pamela's parents were not able to care for her, Task Brasil recently found her an adoptive family. She is now living happily with them nearby and still attends the local crèche with her friends from Casa Jimmy.
