About us

Get to Know Instituto Refazer and Be Part of
Social Transformation

Instituto Refazer was founded in 1995 by two very engaged pediatricians, Vera Bonfim and Mariene Roque. They had the mission of providing a better life to children with chronic diseases and their families.

Since then, we work hard every single day to provide emotional, educational and social support.
