Access Sao Paulo (SP) is an entitiy in its registration process in the United States as a nonprofit organization. It stands with the purpose of understanding and supporting conflict mediation/violence prevention projects in three favelas of the city of Sao Paulo. Access SP gives visibility and information on Sao Paulo's violence dynamic, in its forms of organized crime and drug trafficking, and wo
rks to provide a more transparent view of its reality. Most importantly, our main objective is to promote and raise funds for, currently, two projects already running in some of the most vulnerable favelas of the city through these organizations: TV DOC, Projeto Sonhar in Capão Redondo, A Banca Jovem in Jardim Angela. The entitites running the projects have, as their main target group, the youth in the favelas who are or have been impacted by the imminent violence. The different projects have presented amazing results by creating workshops, trainning, and/or career opportunities. Access SP wants to take these projects further, reach more people and potentialy build new ones. In summary, our main focus is to provide a wider and closer support to the most vulnerable and help them find what their life aspirations are and fascilitate the process of achieving it, ambitiously decreasing violence and crime rates within these communities in the long run.
