Caio Group sponsors the ``School with Ball`` project, which benefits children and adolescents in the city of Botucatu

2022-04-13 The free project is aimed at students between 06 and 17 years of age, from the municipal and state education system, and will start effectively in May 2022. Registration is open from April 18 to 29 by filling out the form available via QR Code.

Caio Group is committed to social responsibility actions that benefit its employees and their families, as well as the community in which it operates.

One of the projects is the Escola com Bola (School with Ball), which aims to provide the participants, through soccer, with development in several aspects. Sport is a tool that allows you to go far beyond sporting evolution. There is the care for physical and emotional health, the exercise of empathy, respect, resilience, and cooperation. In short, the project disseminates social values through teamwork, contributing to the formation of better citizens, more aware of their role in society, thus promoting a better future.

The realization of projects like this is only possible with the alliance of public-private initiatives, which is why Escola com Bola receives support from Caio, which contributes financially to the project based on the terms of the FUMCAD Law - Municipal Fund for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, through the use of tax waivers on Income Tax.

For this subsidy to be possible, the project needs to be linked to entities approved by the Municipal Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CMDCA), an attribute conferred to the Ruach Institute, which will manage the project.

The Municipal Secretary of Education and the State Board of Education will also play a fundamental role in the project`s daily routine, publicizing the applications and following up on the students` progress and school performance. The project will have psychologists and social workers from the public network, supporting the participants who need specialized follow-up.

The six fields where training will take place have been covered with synthetic grass donated by Caio. The rest of the structure was up to the Botucatu Sports Secretary to provide, so that the locations were in accordance to receive the students.
