What we do

Two nations united by one mission.

Guinea-BissauBaio-Negado and Bissau

This is where the project began. In rural Baio-Negado, we drilled the well and built the church that now serves as the center of the community. The next step is a school.

Lives are not transformed all at once. Child by child, we transform stories and build a future.

With US$ 20 per month, the portion allocated to food becomes 18 meals, feeding 2 children on every distribution day. The rest supports construction, water, and operations.

Fixed simulator exchange rate: US$ 1 = R$ 5 · € 1 = R$ 6.

Become a supporter

This is about more than a plate of food. It is a project that changes lives.

Your contribution goes into the project’s shared fund and is used wherever the need is greatest that month: food, construction, water, or operations. That allows us to plan instead of improvise.

How support is allocated
  • 45% Food
  • 25% Construction
  • 10% Water and infrastructure
  • 20% Logistics and operations

Transparency

The questions we hear most often.

You can indicate a preference when you donate. However, our model is designed to sustain the work as a whole. With one shared fund, the Institute directs resources wherever they are most needed that month. Companies interested in funding an entire initiative can contact us directly.

Because food gets a child through the day, while education can change a life. Baio-Negado has no classroom: a child who receives a meal on Sunday spends the rest of the week without studying and reaches age thirteen with the same limited options their parents had.

It is not about choosing one over the other. Instituto Oceano and Igreja Oceano da Graça also support children and vulnerable families in Brazil. Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique became part of this work because they bring together something rare: organized communities, trusted local partners, a shared language, and a cost per meal that allows donations in Brazilian reais to go much further.

At any time, using the link in your confirmation email. No phone call and no retention process. If you would rather speak to someone, the office at Igreja Oceano da Graça can cancel it for you.

Talk to the church office

No. The project was born within Igreja Oceano da Graça, but families, companies, and people outside the church community are welcome to support it.

Igreja Oceano da GraçaInstituto Oceano

Igreja Oceano da Graça and Instituto Oceano are part of the same organization. The church mobilizes and sends the teams. The Institute carries out the work, manages the resources, and is responsible for financial reporting.

This project can only continue if we stay together.
