Casa do Caminho is an orphanage situated in a rural town near a rainforest, outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our mission is to help and take in children and adolescents in vulnerable social situations; to stimulate their development in fraternal cohabitation with nature while offering social, cultural, vocational, and sports programs; to promote the psychosocial restructurization of the family, and ultimately to facilitate the reintegration of this population into their families and society at the appropriate time.
