Task Brasil - The Abandoned Street Kids of Brazil Trust - is a UK based charity running programmes for street children in Brazil, most of whom have been either orphaned or abandoned. Deprived of any alternative, these childen escape to the streets where they attempt to carry on with their lives. Task Brasil improves the lives and supports the needs of children, adolescents and pregnant teenage girls living on the streets of Brazil. With the support of various organisations it runs Casa Jimmy, Epsom College Farm and Forest House, the Street Approach, and soon will be opening Casa Roger Turner. Task Brasil Trust depends on the help of those who are willing to invest their time and/or money in the future of these young victims of the Brazilian society.
