Mali Martin Care – Help for children and youths around the world

Mali Martin Care was founded by Peter Martin with the aim of providing aid to people in need in an unbureaucratic way.
Inspired by the concept of providing aid unburdened by administrative overheads, numerous people have supported us enabling Mali Martin Care to implement global projects funding children’s homes and social welfare facilities around the world.

Projects

Lar do Menor (Brazil)
Lar do Menor is a home for children and youths aged between 2 and 18 years. It is situated in Carapicuiba in Sao Paulo, Brazil, an area known for its many destitute children and adolescents. Lar do Menor is home to between 25 and 30 children and adolescents. Besides giving some a permanent roof over their head, the home also offers a wide range of physical and musical activities, as well as psychological care and support. The home was established in 1977 and since 2002 has received backing to the sum of over 600,000 euros from the charitable organisation Mali Martin Care e.V.

Centro Social is a youth centre in Itamarandiba, Minas Gerais, and was born of an initiative of Peter Martin and was built solely on funding from Mali Martin Care e.V.
