About This Cause
Task Brasil Trust is a non-profit organisation running social and educational projects for underprivileged kids and their families in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. To provide disadvantaged children with the essential tools to thrive in life, away from the streets. Task Brasil started running residential care for street children and young people in 1998 after receiving a very generous donation from Jimmy Page, the Led Zeppelin rock icon, who witnessed first hand the deprivation of the children and troubles in the favelas whilst playing in Rio de Janeiro. The money donated was used towards buying a house in Rio de Janeiro. Casa Jimmy, has provided a safe place for children, young people and pregnant teenage girls facing a life of great deprivation and vulnerability. Since 2011, Task Brasil Trust has been running socio-educational projects for children aged 6 to 18 years old. Covid Emergency Support - Since April 202, we have been distributing food and cleaning/hygiene parcels to families with children leaving in Rio's favelas as well assistance and referrals.
