Boa Viagem Parish Social Work Foundation Project (Frei Leopoldo Home)

The Boa Vista Parish Social Work Foundation (Frei Leopoldo Home) is an entity dedicated to providing shelter, education and religious and psychological support to children who have been orphaned or removed from the custody of their parents or guardians due to maltreatment. The entity's headquarters is located in the Havaí district of Belo Horizonte. The sheltering home is maintained through the contributions from Belo Horizonte City Hall, donations from various sources and the sale of frozen snack foods produced by the shelter's residents. Cemig GT employees contributed to the renovation of the building and the acquisition of resources necessary for the maintenance of the shelter.
