Who we are
Il Padre Pellegrino ODV is an organization committed to supporting the activities of the mission
Saint Michael the Archangel that in Brazil welcomes the “meniños de rua”, street children
who are forced to live their childhood in conditions of marginalization and poverty
We welcome
we help the poorest children, otherwise forced to live a childhood of marginalization and poverty
We assist
we guarantee them the love they can find in a family, daily meals and the necessary medical assistance
education
we give them a complete educational path followed by professional courses in different sectors and work activities
Their future
we prepare them to enter the world of work, become independent and integrate into society
The Donation
Give a better future. Your donation can change their lives, starting now!
Marco Roberto Bertoli writes in a letter: “Charity is made up of two hands, one that gives, the other that receives and both must remain empty. The one who gives must be empty, because was able to give everything she had, the one who receives cannot keep anything back because needs everything”

Your support can transform young lives. Over 600 children are currently welcomed into the mission where we serve approximately 2000 meals a day. The children also benefit from the guidance of over 60 professional volunteers. With your help, we can offer more than food. We can provide the education, skills training and support these children need to build a better future. Together, we can create a foundation on which every child can thrive
