A decade transforming lives through fencing — but now we need you to keep going.

For over 10 years, the Mosqueteiros Project has been offering free fencing classes to children and teenagers from public schools in the Paraisópolis community, one of the largest favelas in São Paulo. We have already impacted hundreds of lives, providing not only sport, but also discipline, confidence, and opportunity.

But today, the project is at serious risk of shutting down.

With the loss of long-time sponsors, we can no longer afford to keep the teachers and staff who make the project possible. Everything we have built is under threat. And what hurts the most is knowing that the doors we have worked so hard to open might close — especially for those who need them most.

We are making this heartfelt appeal.

We need to raise R$10,000 (about USD $2,000) by the end of August to keep the project alive and running for the second half of the year.

This is our chance — and yours — to prevent this dream from becoming just a memory.

🏅 Help keep alive the hope for a better future.

Because when a child starts practicing fencing, they are not just learning how to fight.

They are learning that they have value, strength, and a future.

Don’t let this story end here.

Together, we can keep the Mosqueteiros in action.
