Brief description and main aims
Centro Diaconal Evangélico Luterano (CEDEL) is a philanthropic project started in 2000, which is based on the social and assistanted work with about 100 children and adolescent aged from 6 to 16 years old.
CEDEL's mission is to contribute to the global development of society with a learning based on respect, love, and autonomy with responsibility.
The objective is to develop educational processes and actions which can transform the local culture into a no-violent culture and to strengthen the familiar and communitarian ties of children and families living in the area, which are all in a high social risk situation.

Main Activities
CEDEL provides a safe space where children are listened to and stimulated to reflect and interact. Children who study at school in the morning, stay at CEDEL in the afternoon and vice versa. They are attended trough a program called Programa de Serviço de Apoio Sócio Educativo (SASE). There are two other programs that work to integrate the families and the local community: Núcleo de Apoio Sócio Familiar (which support more than 40 poor families) and Telecentro (informatic centre open to all the community).
CEDEL offers alternative education trough different activities, such as informatics, language lessons, sports and games, art workshops, dance etc. All these activities help children understand the importance of autonomy, of sense of responsibility and cooperation, and allows them to exercise their citizenship.
