... it all begins with a trip

Carolina brings with her: 1 year experience
living with different realities; and her
nickname "Sapana" - means dream in Nepali,
given by the orphans of the village where she
has been.
After her working experience at the United
Nations, together with her Asian trip,
Carolina joins to her knowledge the
Harvard courses - "Financials and Stew-
ardship" and the UN University for Peace -
"Entrepreneurship"
With the main purpose of promoting the human
dignity, 3 people gather with a great mission:
Empowering one to one, each human being;
having as a vision: to disappear, once that will be
the result of "mission accomplished".
SAPANA.org becomes a Public Benefit Organization and gains the status of
NGOD - Non Governmental Organization for Development.
Ashoka, a global network of social entrepreneurs,
nominates the founder of "Changemaker".
Grameen Bank (Muhammad Yunus Foundation)
acknowledges SAPANA.org as an example of Social Economy.

SAPANA.org came to empower, not to stay. We came to disseminate the best practices.Through a methodology we arrive and
intend to work each person, each group, each community as if it were one.We want our excellence to be guided with humanism,
until then I believe SAPANA.org has positioned itself as an organization we can trust, believe and support.
Carolina Almeida Cruz, CEO SAPANA.org
It is with great “Pride” that Barclays is part of this “Dream” (Sapana) from the outset because we have always believed that in
fact, as already said the great Antonio Gedeão (great poet, professor and author of my books of Natural Sciences - Rómulo de
Carvalho) “When the Man dreams the World jumps and advances” ... Congratulations for the results achieved so far, but above
all by the distinctive and challenging mark they leave on all the people who pass through “SAPANA”!
Isabel de la Peña, BARCLAYS (financiadorTLT) - Head of Citizenship, Barclays Portugal
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in a project as fantastic as this one, which marks the difference by
their intensity and the enormous impact it has on the lives of those who participate. It is a unique experience with a vibrant
energy and absolute sharing. I must say it was the most intense and powerful experiences I've ever had in terms of social
responsibility. Projects like this that change the world, starting to change the life of every person who has the opportunity to
participate.
Filipa Menano de Almeida, CISCO - DolphinTLT
- Sapana has helped us a lot, young people, families to trust again, to bring people together.
- It helped our neighborhood to grow.
- People are more united and the young help the community.
- I feel we are not alone and that they care about us, we have someone to turn to...
