Edut*lon and Opportunities In Bra2il. the access for children to edu¢ation has suffered during the pandemic. At the end of 2020. for example.

This is an issue that our partner Ammar Transforma seeks to 3ddffe￿ bui at the start of 2021. they were struggling to deliver iheir normal semces to the children and young people of the fragile community of Coque in the city of Recife. Despite the difficult circumstances. and with the help of funds from Happy Child, a community centre refurbishment was su¢ces5fulty cornpleted in March 2021. The centre now provides a more comfortable setting for medical attendance. educational aCtI￿tieS and IT instruction. The centre was fittetl with a TV monitor and 7 computer terminals for digital and online learning. With the support of Happy Child.

On July 2nd 2021. normal group attivities were resumed. To comply with Covid safety protocols the children met in smaller groups of 6 and engaged in a learning schedule that had not been available for more than a year and a half. The proBramme attended 50 children twice a week to facilrtate the learnin8. Happy Child has supported work wtth older thildren and youn8 people too. including a Mentoring and Skills Programme run by our partner Insiiluio Solidare. In Bra2il in 2020. some 23.8 million young people from 15 to 29 vears old were without higher education qualifications and had not been admitted to college or university or for vocational training118GE 20201. The situation is particularly difficult for those from low-income families. In this context, the Mentoring and Skills Training scheme offered by Instituto Solidare addresses a very real need and is heavily over-subscribed. The training is part of the larger Holistic Citizen Programme which is a state government initiati¥e for young people from low-income farnilies. For the firsi half of 2021 the learning was delivered online and this was a hugè struggle znd challenge for the programme beneficiaries. Some relied on their mobile phones and others on family or friends to access the learning platform. The majority of the beneficiaries do not have personal computers in the home.

REPORT I1￿¢rpOratIng the Dlre¢tors Report) Icontinuedl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEM8ER 2011 Protectlon from Violence It is a sad fact that chIld￿n in the poorer communities of Brazil are at a higher risk of violence and abuse. Simply by offering a centre for children and young people to supplement their education, Happy Child and its partners are helping to take them off the streets and reduce the risk of violence against them. Beyond that. the educationzl support that they receive, coupled with adult support and mentoring. provides the potential for gainlul employment arid reduces the likelihood of them betng drawn inio riskier behaviours and situation5. Some talented and have the potential. with the support and encouragement that Happy Child and our partners are providin& to become leaders and a a force for 8ood in their communities. Violence to girls and young women is particularly worrying and is closely linked io the high rates of teenage pregnancy that are prevalent in poor communities in Brazil. Happy Child Intemational has 3 long history of working to help gir15 who are victim5 of abuse and to support teenage mothers in caring for their babies. In 2021. we have had discussions and m3de plans for ¢ontinuing this work as described irt the context of our work on family care below. Famity Care The Covid pandemic brought huge difficulties for poor families in many low-income communities in Brazil, such as in the Coque community in Recife seryed by our partner, Amrnar Transforma. From January 2021 to July 2021. Happy Child supported Ammar Transforma to deliver food baskets and hygiene kits to vulnerable famllles in Coque.

Trusted research indicates that it is more often among girls living in poverty and those who are s¢xially vulnerable. with less education who will experience earty teen pregnancy. A multi component preventative approach is needed and ¢ould be prowded by existing partners working in fragile communities in 2022. The partners that HCI is working with also seek to influence national. state and muniopal governments and agencies on policies that affect their work and outreach to vulnerable children and young people. The partner5 attend meetings with CREAS Icentro de Referencia da Assistencia Sociall, and other 50¢ial assistantè networks in the region.
