Partner with Us
Join the Good Shepherd Project in partnership with Projeto Bom Pastor in Brazil, providing education, health, and sports opportunities to children who need it most. Your support help will every child to thrive.
At The Good Shepherd Project, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Yet, poverty often denies children access to the resources they need to grow, learn, and dream. That’s why we focus on three key areas that create lasting change: education, sports, and health.
Sport Changes
LIVES
For vulnerable children, sport is more than just games – it is a chance to build confidence, develop teamwork, and experience joy. Our sports programmes offer therapeutic outlets that inspire children to dream beyond their circumstances.
Your contribution will help fund:
-
​Footballs, judo outfits, shoes, and clothing to ensure every child can participate.
-
The creation of safe spaces where children can grow emotionally and socially.
By participating in sport, children learn the value of perseverance, leadership, and hope.
Education Changes FUTURES
Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty, but many families in Fátima cannot afford even the most basic educational material. Without essential material, children may be forced to drop out of school and be robbed of their future potential.
​
Your support will help to provide:
-
​School books and workbooks to empower effective learning.
-
Stationery and supplies to allow children to participate fully in their education.
​
A lifeline for families who otherwise couldn’t afford these necessities
Health Changes FAMILIES
Public healthcare is available in Brazil, but long waiting times and limited access to specialised care leave many families without solutions. Some children endure years of untreated conditions, which affects their quality of life and future opportunities.
Your sponsorship ensures:
-
Access to medicine and treatment.
-
Funding for consultations and diagnostic tests that families could not otherwise afford.
-
Private care for urgent needs—like a young girl in our Safe House who has waited far too long for treatment of a painful skin condition.
With your help, we can bridge these gaps and provide life-changing healthcare for children in need.
Together, these three areas of support can give children the tools to overcome adversity and build brighter futures. By partnering The Good Shepherd Project you are helping to create a community where every child is valued, loved, and equipped to thrive.
How the Sponsorship Works
Your monthly contribution is pooled into a community fund managed by Projeto Bom Pastor (PBP) in Brazil. This fund enables them to provide critical support to children and families in the Fátima community, address immediate needs and contribute to long-term development.
1. Needs are identified
The PBP team in Brazil identifies needs, from school supplies to urgent medical care, through its community programmes.
2. Action is taken
Funds from the Shepherd Programme are used to address the most pressing needs.
3. We report back to you
After every allocation, Good Shepherd Project will share updates about:
-
What was funded.
-
Who it helped and why.

​
Regular updates ensure you see the real impact of your contributions.
