Forty years ago, the Nossa Senhora da Piedade Nursing Home, better known as Lar da Vovó, opened it doors with the dream of changing the reality of abandonment faced by many elderly Brazilians.

Lar da Vovó has certainly done its part, transforming the lives of at least a few dozen elderly residents, giving them love and respect, and a decent home consisting of rooms, bedrooms, laundry room, an industrial kitchen, a chapel, a physiotherapy room, medical clinic, arts and crafts room, among other simply finished facilities that are notable for their hygiene and cleanliness.

Through the efforts of employee Luiz Davi (Budget Department) of the Viva Project and the Main Office’s staff, a large amount of various materials were collected for donation to the nursing home.
