About Us
We work in a neighbourhood called Nossa Senhora de Fatima, a deprived area near Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Our team works closely with the community to offer a variety of courses. All of them are designed to not only offer an educational opportunity, but also give the young people recreational activities, encouraging them away from riskier behaviours related to gang culture.
We want to change people's lives.
Our History
Since 1993, the Good Shepherd Project (GSP) has been working alongside its Brazilian branch, known as Projeto Bom Pastor, to protect those at risk. We seek to protect children from the problems brought about by social deprivation, including poor education, and drug abuse.
