What We Do and Who We Are Educa Foundation was created by Brazilians living abroad who wanted to contribute to the development of their country. The Foundation's aim is to promote education and advancement of talented Brazilians, especially the less privileged ones. It is a UK-based charity and works in partnership with NGOs and institutions which invest in Brazil and Brazilian students. There is a lot you can do to help! Join us today. History Educa Foundation was created and funded by Brazilians living abroad. Greatly concerned for talented, hardworking people in Brazil who could not complete their education due to limited opportunities or scarcity of means, our founding trustees raised funds to sponsor a number of small educational projects in Brazil. Their first grant was used to pay tuition fees for a young woman of a minority background who was the first person in her family to attend University. After a few successful and deeply gratifying experiences, this group of Brazilians living abroad decided to formalise their actions and created in 2011 "Fundação Educa", a registered Charity regulated by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Charity registered number: 1146671).
