Educara Sumé is located in Brazil’s rural North-East. The non-profit organization of public interest takes care of the education of underprivileged young people in the town of Sumé. Sumé is located in the state of Paraíba, some 140km away from the regional pole of Campina Grande. Most of its 18.000 habitants live below the poverty line.
Currently, about 100 students participate and seize from the diverse and free services Educara offers to the local population.

Educara was founded in 2000 and dramatically changed the chances for education of underprivileged families in Sumé: where up to 2003 less than 1% of school graduates made it to university, now more than 50% of Educara’s scholarship holders make that step and thus realize their dream of higher education.

Thanks to special courses, scholarship holders from Educara get an adequate preparation for the admission tests to Brazilian universities. As most of them are from modest economic background, before and during their studies they are accompanied, supported and coached.
A key concept is that scholarship holders do not get only aid. In return, they help taking care of the younger students, deliver free private lessons and are involved in Educara’s multiple social projects. Accordingly, an increasing number of Educara-members and also the town Sumé take advantage of this program and the “multiplication effect” it generates.

Apart from checking the notice of exemption of the German fiscal authorities ("charitability"), betterplace does not assess this project. Since there are thousands of projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

365 days at a university

€365 raised

Their social and economic surroundings often do not allow the youths to earn enough money for their studies. Without financial support, they would not have the possibility to raise their educational level.

100 months preparation courses

€1,800 raised

More than 50% of Educara’s scholarship holders pass the admission tests to universities. This is only possible, because Educara funds special courses for students from public school and modest economic background to raise their chances of success.

10 admission tests at universities

€210 raised

In Brazil every university applicant has to pass a special admission test at the respective university. For most people the related expenses are hardly surmountable obstacles in their way towards university access.
