From Rio Favelas to Tech Innovation
Born and raised in Rio's communities, I saw firsthand how talent was everywhere but opportunity was not. The brightest minds in our favelas were building incredible things with nothing but determination and borrowed laptops.
TechMission Rio started with a simple belief: if we could connect Rio's untapped talent with global tech opportunities, we could transform not just individual lives, but entire communities.
Every student we support represents a promise fulfilled to the next generation of Rio innovators.

"Empowering Rio's youth to become the next generation of tech leaders, transforming their communities through innovation and opportunity."
