“If you wish to feed a man, give him a fish. But if you wish him never to be hungry again, teach him how to fish”. Chinese Proverb

The Pescar [Fishing] Project is a network that works through the social franchise system. The franchised companies create space for personal and professional training of low-income teenagers in its own facilities, later sending them into the job market.

In addition to promoting the basic learning to practice a profession in the most varied areas of industry, trade and service provisioning, the Project encourages youngsters to adopt new habits and attitudes of cohabitation and citizenship. www.projetopescar.org.br
