Project Elas Entre Linhas e
Joias (Approved by the
Rouanet Law)

The Elas Entre Linhas e Joias Project encourages the participation of women in socially vulnerable
situations, especially mothers who are the primary providers for their families.

How Does It Work?

Over the course of 12 months, we will conduct nine free educational-cultural workshops in crochet, macramé, and eco-jewelry at Instituto Refazer. These workshops are designed to value Brazilian folk culture and help preserve our ancestrals knowledge and practices of traditional crafts, folk art and cultural handcrafting.

Our goals

  • Women's Empowerment:

    Training and income opportunities increase financial autonomy and self-esteem.

  • Social Inclusion:

    Provides professional and creative activities, promoting social inclusion.

  • Improved Quality of Life:

    Income generation and new skills enhance the quality of life for participants and their families

  • Creation of Support Networks:

    Facilitates stronger communities and mutual support.

  • Personal and Professional Development:

    In addition to technical skills, promotes competencies such as creativity and resilience.

  • Environmental Impact:

    Waste Reduction: Use of recyclable PET in eco-jewelry production encourages recycling.
