The Brazilian Overpass to the Social Good Sphere

We have known Instituto da Criança for a decade now, they have always been characterized by a strong sense of innovation and a constant determination to align planets in the Brazilian Social Good Sphere. After years of successful efforts as a classic nonprofit supporting children and youth, the Institute’s team lead by its founder and president Pedro Monteiro Werneck decided to look for more. They identified a need to bridge their beneficiaries and projects with funders and social investors. They saw the opportunity to have a more systemic impact by developing a culture of action that would have a lasting effect. They decided to provide their managerial expertise to people willing to invest in projects. Today, they’ve moved from a simple doer approach to a culture of architecture applied to the Social...

The Brazilian Overpass to the Social Good Sphere

We have known Instituto da Criança for a decade now, they have always been characterized by a strong sense of innovation and a constant determination to align planets in the Brazilian Social Good Sphere. After years of successful efforts as a classic nonprofit supporting children and youth, the Institute’s team lead by its founder and president Pedro Monteiro Werneck decided to look for more. They identified a need to bridge their beneficiaries and projects with funders and social investors. They saw the opportunity to have a more systemic impact by developing a culture of action that would have a lasting effect. They decided to provide their managerial expertise to people willing to invest in projects. Today, they’ve moved from a simple doer approach to a culture of architecture applied to the Social Good Sphere. The notion of sharing, co-leading and co-managing projects was about to drive more support, ownership, and sustainability. Their analysis and results prove their vision to be right. They’re about to turn bigger and stronger.

History

The history of the Instituto da Criança (IC) begins in 1994, when the Werneck brothers helped a family with many children. After that, the Werneck brothers officially became involved in the social sphere. From then on, there was no turning back. They were so enthusiastic about their ability to articulate social actions for the transformation of lives that they started a second movement: to support Fernanda Avila, a woman who had an institution that took care of 33 children with physical disabilities and no family ties, which were the responsibility of the State, and because of the lack of financial support could not do a quality job. The scenario was extremely disturbing with these children in small cribs, some with their hands tied to prevent self-mutilation.

The history of the Instituto da Criança (IC) begins in 1994, when the Werneck brothers helped a family with many children. After that, the Werneck brothers officially became involved in the social sphere. From then on, there was no turning back. They were so enthusiastic about their ability to articulate social actions for the transformation of lives that they started a second movement: to support Fernanda Avila, a woman who had an institution that took care of 33 children with physical disabilities and no family ties, which were the responsibility of the State, and because of the lack of financial support could not do a quality job. The scenario was extremely disturbing with these children in small cribs, some with their hands tied to prevent self-mutilation.
After successful missions, the Werneck brothers decided to create, in 1998, together with 48 other friends, the Instituto da Criança (IC).
Over time, the IC continued its role of articulating different social actors, and realized that to impact the lives of children, they had to involve their families, and started the Projeto Espaço Cidadão (Citizen Space Project), providing content on citizenship, rights, and responsibilities to these families. As time went by, IC saw how many social entrepreneurs were emerging, and realized that - as they had done before - there was no need to focus only on new projects, but to give light to these social projects and to the entrepreneurs' ongoing initiatives. From children, to families, to social entrepreneurs, the IC grew to become a reference in social initiatives in Rio de Janeiro, as well as partnerships in São Paulo and other regions.
After 20 years immersing itself in social projects and articulating a diverse range of entrepreneurs, the IC published its commemorative book, telling its story. During the book's development process, the IC's mission became clearer than ever, as it realized that its true purpose was (and is) to articulate social initiatives and inspire solidarity to transform lives.
The IC developed its own fundraising and project management methodologies for companies to make social investments and social responsibility and sustainability programs.
The Instituto da Criança celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2024, managing 148 projects throughout the year. We are proud to share our numbers from 2008 to 2024:

610 partners served

1002 projects managed

Over 11 million people reached

Instituto da Criança envisions the future and transforms the present, fostering human development with care and solidarity. Our message to the future is clear: the improbable is not impossible. With dedication and solidarity, Instituto da Criança will continue impacting lives and building a fairer and more compassionate world.
