How is MonaVie Associated with MORE?
The MORE Project is an independently operated 501-C3 nonprofit organization. Founded in 2006 by the Executive Officers of MonaVie, Incorporated. MonaVie is committed to paying 100% of the MORE Project's operational costs. This means that every dollar donated goes directly to in-the-field operations. Additionally, the MORE Project benefits from the contributions and volunteering of many MonaVie distributors. The MORE Project encourages and welcomes the support of donors and volunteers regardless of whether or not they are associated with MonaVie.
What exactly does The MORE Project do?
To fulfill our vision of helping the most impoverished of Brazil's citizens to live full, dignified lives, The MORE Project operates a series of programs, each of which is designed to fulfill a specific need or purpose:
Mom's House
The Richard Laverdure School
The Believer's Project
The Nehemiah Project
The Father's House Project
Village MonaVie
Mom's House
The aim of the “Mom's House” is to provide a secure living environment for children who are at risk in their primary family relationship. The Mom's House provides a family setting with shelter, love, dental, medical and psychological care. During their stay, children are taught many of the skills needed to help them create a stable, affirming life.
Believer's Project
The Believer's Project was created to address the immediate and long-term needs of children living in Vila Iparanga. Structured as an additional half-day of schooling, the Believer's Project has dramatically improved the quality of life of the families it serves in myriad ways that extend beyond the children's education. To name a few:
Parental involvement with children and families has increased.
Issues that families struggle with are brought to light and addressed more often.
Children's very real nutritional needs are met.
Children's exposure to high-risk environments and behaviors is greatly reduced.
Aggression is some children has decreased.
Self-esteem and confidence in children has increased.
The Father's House Project
The main goal of the Father's Houses is to enable young men ages 18 to 25, who are homeless or suffering from severe circumstances to lead productive, independent lives by providing educational, psychological, and emotional support in a stable, supportive environment.
Richard Laverdure School
The Richard Laverdure Professional School provides much-needed vocational training for teenagers and adults from Vila Iparanga, helping them learn professional skills such as:
Computer training
Portuguese
Reading and writing
Telemarketing
Dressmaking
Jewelry making
Small business skills
The Nehemiah Project
The focus of the Nehemiah Project is to rebuild the homes in Vila Iparanga that suffer from extreme structural problems. With homes in such disrepair, many children prefer to be on the streets rather than at home, which puts them in serious danger. By building homes where children feel safe and comfortable, it is the hope of the Nehemiah project that families will grow closer simply by spending more time together at home, and children will attend to their homework and other learning. The Nehemiah Project also strives to address the issues related to the lack of a healthy home, such as job training and rebuilding a life in a new community.
Village MonaVie
Those who know have always belonged to a supportive community might take all of its hidden benefits for granted. But for those who haven't grown up in such an environment, the negative effects are often profound. Children who grow up belonging to no one or no place lack these vital connections with others, and even worse, they don't know how to build healthy relationships with others. Village Mona Vie, currently under construction, promises to be one of the most exciting, important, and life-changing endeavors the MORE Projects has ever participated in. By building a central community, as many as 100 at-risk children can live in family units with other children, surrounded by the love, psychological care, and emotional support of trained staff and volunteers-all part of their supportive community. The children engage in a full spectrum of education programs, art, and recreation opportunities. Look forward to hearing many more details about Village MonaVie as we report on construction and program progress.
