An Education for Life course has been established in the Guarapiranga region.

Michael Ribeiro, our ambassador for Brazil, sent us a short video: it shows young women who could never afford hairdressing training on their own – even the travel costs to school or the working materials are beyond their means – picking up scissors and brush for the very first time.

“Talent doesn’t choose an address – opportunity often does,” says Michael.

What counts is not only money, but the willingness to learn, to work and to write a new story, to begin a new life. Because training a student is never just about passing on techniques: it is about independence, dignity and new possibilities for an entire family.

For the project to reach more people, it needs a bigger network – companies, brands and professionals who can contribute products, tools, equipment, knowledge or resources.

So this is our request to everyone in our community, to our colleagues, to the industry representatives of our sector – to everyone who wants to help: please donate to our account using the reference “Brasilien”. For practical support, products or working materials, please get in touch with the board of Education for Life Mondial, Jens Dagné or Dan Studer – or with your ambassadors on the ground in your own countries.
