About Books4Brazil
Books4Brazil is a unique read-a-thon that combines fundraising for literacy in Brazil with engaging cultural learning experiences for students in the United States.
It’s a 30-day program where students read, track their progress, and participate in weekly lessons about Brazilian culture.
The program supports Holistica Foundation, a Brazilian non-profit working to combat illiteracy.
Schools can choose from three commitment levels to match their fundraising goals and create a meaningful impact on literacy both at home and abroad.
Here's why you should bring BOOKS4BRAZIL to your school or homeschooling practice:
A Cause-Driven Fundraiser:
Unlike traditional school fundraisers, BOOKS4BRAZIL goes beyond fundraising. It supports Holistica Foundation, a Brazilian organization dedicated to combating illiteracy.
Engaging Curriculum:
Developed by Cultured Kids, this program features interactive lessons that build empathy and understanding of Brazilian culture through engaging stories, activities, and map work.
Meaningful Impact:
Your students will directly impact the lives of Brazilian children who lack access to books. This experience cultivates global citizenship and a sense of responsibility for the world.
Three Commitment Levels:
Choose the level that best suits your needs, whether you’re a small group, a public school, or a private institution.
Easy to Implement:
The digital platform provides comprehensive resources, tools, and support to make the program a seamless success.
