Filhos de Bimba
Our NGO Partner
We are proud to partner with Filhos de Bimba in Salvador, Bahia, as our 2024 NGO Partner. This dedicated community organization empowers youth through free Capoeira lessons, preserving Afro-Brazilian cultural heritage. Thanks to a generous donation, we provided twelve tablets to enhance their students' educational experience, supporting their growth both inside and outside the roda. Together, we are making a lasting impact on the lives of these young Capoeiristas.
