We believe the light in the eyes of a child is the purest reflection of hope in action.

About Servir no Mundo | Who we are and our mission
Our values

Our core values are respect for others, empathy, humility, solidarity and charity.In recent years, Sandra, Barbara and Juju have devoted themselves to raising donations for small NGOs, communities, villages, orphanages and schools in many parts of the world.

Their work is wide-ranging, from putting together hygiene kits for children in hospital to distributing school supplies and food parcels to orphanages and to families in disadvantaged communities.

They also provide food, educational and other forms of support with every donation they receive. In 2023 they decided to join forces and found the “Servir no Mundo” project, with the main aim of bringing volunteers together in this act of love and making a positive difference to the lives of many people in situations of social vulnerability.

The beliefs that underpin our work

Compassion

We work to break the cycles of inequality, creating opportunities for families in disadvantaged communities and orphanages.

Dignity

Every child deserves to be seen, heard and respected. We stand up for the inherent worth of every person, whatever their background.

Integrity

Our work is guided by empathy — listening closely, responding with care and standing alongside communities and families.

Equity

In a fair world, equity is the fertile ground where every human being is remembered, until we can all walk side by side as equals.

Collaboration

We build meaningful partnerships with communities and families to make sure our impact is solid, relevant and lasting.

Sustainability

We support programmes that grow with the community — built to last, led locally and focused on long-term change.

We are three friends

We are three friends united by a commitment to the humanitarian cause. We support projects that drive the growth and development of the communities and groups involved.

Over the years we have focused our efforts on raising donations for small NGOs, communities, villages, orphanages and schools in many parts of the world, including several states in Brazil, plus Myanmar, Africa, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam.

We are three friends
01
Bárbara
Co-founder · Singapore / Singapore

Hi, I am Bárbara, a Rio native who has lived in Singapore for 8 years, married and mother of two lovely boys. I have a passion for running, yoga and travelling and for connecting with people from different cultures. Taking part in social projects is an incredible experience, one that not only fulfils me but feeds my soul in a way nothing else does.

In recent years, with expat friends scattered around the world, a strong desire grew in me to create an NGO — a digital platform — that would bring together people from many parts of the world. My goal is to gather that energy and support around a single purpose: to make a difference in the lives of many people living in social vulnerability.

I am determined to turn this dream into reality and to keep serving and connecting people around the world with commitment and passion.

02
Juju
Co-founder · Curitiba / Brazil

Hi, I am Juju, from Curitiba, a citizen of the world. I love to travel, to get to know cultures and people, to learn new things and above all to share what I learn and what I can do for good.

For two decades I have carried out volunteer work in Brazil and abroad. After living three years in Myanmar as a volunteer teacher of English and digital tools, I found my greatest purpose in life: to serve others and to connect people to projects.

To be one of those who take part in actions that make our world a better place, every single day.

03
Sandra
Co-founder · Rio de Janeiro / Brazil

I am Sandra, a Rio native body and soul, who has called Rio de Janeiro home since the age of three. I am married and the mother of two wonderful children. I love cycling and walking around the city, and I love travelling with my family. Discovering new places and cultures and exploring the world is what drives me.

For the past 15 years I have joined friends and warm-hearted people to support many social projects. Do good without asking for whom — that is my motto.

I met Bárbara and Juju through this chain of goodwill, and together we want to connect good hearts around the world.

We are counting on you to get involved.
