What Our Supporters Say

In just two meetings, Serenas caught the attention of the Beja Institute team, which selected the organization for a multi-year grant and institutional development support. We challenged the team to expand its work across Brazil, and today we see the organization influencing public policy, engaging with education departments, and even working with the federal government in Brasília.

Cristiane Sultani

President of Beja Institute

For us, organizations like Serenas—those that take on delicate and controversial issues that few people are willing to face—are exactly what draw our attention and motivate us to be involved.
