Have you been to visit?

What problems are TEP trying to address?

Extreme poverty, violence and drug abuse is rife in Sao Paulo

Education is very limited

Children, teenagers and adults turn to crime to survive

Statistics

70% of Young offenders in the youth prisons go on to reoffend

After 8 sessions or more with The Eagle Project…..

…Just 22% reoffend!

It works!

Run two or three groups in the youth prisons per week

Take on additional staff including an administrative assistant, a social worker and a psychologist/psychodrama therapist
