2022 was a year of transformation at the Fefig Institute. The move to our own headquarters, the creation of a new communications and fundraising department, and the establishment of an administrative department reflect the institute’s institutional reorganization, now featuring an even more modern visual identity that embodies our renewal.
In addition, we are in the final stages of establishing our Board of Directors, which will include leading professionals in their respective fields who will undoubtedly lend even greater credibility to our initiatives. We will soon announce the official composition of this important institutional body.
On this journey, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding the Fefig methodology—which focuses on scalability, sustainability, and impact—to improve the quality of education for children and adolescents in Brazil.
There are now more than 70,000 students, 4,710 teachers, and 1,131 school administrators across 640 schools in 50 Brazilian municipalities. None of this would be possible without the support of all of you.
In this new year, we want to make an even greater impact and bring about lasting social change. Will you join us?
