The João Santos Association was founded in 1993, providing education and support to 35 children.
In 1996 there were already 94 children receiving care and education. Currently there are 147 children and 23 workers divided in five different buildings.
A new building has just finished being built, concentrating all the workers and children in the same facilities, with one kindergarten and occupational center.
This building was conceived from the beginning to host a PV power plant and Boa Energia will be responsible for its instalation and exploitation.
In return the João Santos Association will get a fixed percentage of the projects income to help cover the new buildings maintenance costs while producing green electricity.
