Story
Meninadanca is a Brazilian charity that works with girls between the ages of 10-17 and their families who are at risk of/ or are involved in sexual abuse and exploitation in remote communities along the BR-116 motorway. It is so well known for the sexual exploitation of minors that it has been nicknamed "Highway to Hell." This is the organisation that I followed for 10 years; 3 years ago I left my teaching job in England to volunteer with them.
July 2017 is the second year we are doing a Walk for Justice to raise awareness and funds nationally and internationally. 4 of the team, including myself will be walking 170km between Medina (where we have been working for 4 1/2 years) and Murcuri (where we hope to start working with the local community next) in 5 days!
During this time we will tie a pink ribbon each to your kilometre sign between the two cities, to show that many people are standing with the girls of the BR-116 and refusing to allow abuse and sexual exploitation be a normal part of their lives.
If you would like to partner with us financially there are two options:
1: Adopt a KM yourself for a yearly commitment of £20 per month. If you would like to do this please follow the link to the Meninadanca website. https://www.meninadanca.org/adopt-a-km
2: Adopt part of a KM by donating your chosen amount to this page.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

7 years agoA huge thank you to all those who have helped to raise so much for such a great organisation! The walk went really well even with blisters, sore muscles and inflamed ankles. We completed it a week ago today and are able to walk properly again... mostly.
