In this article, Isadora, administrative manager, and Maurício, a volunteer, invite us to discover the behind-the-scenes and workflow of this inspiring initiative that ensures mobility and inclusion for children and adolescents with disabilities.
The Essence of the Lacres Ideia Project
The Lacres Ideia is a non-profit initiative by Turma do Jiló, dedicated to promoting inclusive education and diversity. Its main objective is to collect aluminum tabs to acquire adaptive wheelchairs for school-aged children and adolescents with disabilities who attend public schools. Each collected tab represents a step towards the autonomy and full participation of these young people in society.
How Hope Transforms into Mobility
The project's process is simple yet effective. Thousands of aluminum tabs are collected by volunteers and partners of Turma do Jiló. After collection, these tabs are exchanged for wheelchairs that are carefully adapted to the individual needs of each child. This ensures not only mobility but also comfort and proper development. The project maintains a waiting list organized by order of arrival.
For families interested in receiving an adaptive wheelchair, Turma do Jiló offers various communication channels. All information is carefully recorded in spreadsheets by the administrative team. Transparency and organization are pillars to ensure that donations reach those most in need, fairly and efficiently.
