Held annually, the initiative mobilizes individuals and businesses to raise funds that support EdC social projects throughout Brazil, translating into practice the commitment to eradicate poverty and build a more just, regenerative, and fraternal world.
In this edition, the goal is to raise R$ 567,000, an amount that will ensure the continuity of initiatives that, in 2024 alone, directly impacted the lives of more than 30,000 people in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.
Behind these numbers are real stories of transformation, such as those of Ana Carine Reis, from Euclides da Cunha (BA), and Gabriel Teixeira, from Cametá do Ramos (AM).
Ana Carine relies on the support of EdC to cover therapy for her teenage son with disabilities and to meet basic household needs. For her, the reach of the project goes far beyond financial aid: “In recent times I have also received help with emotional matters,” she says.
Gabriel, a student who dreams of becoming a math teacher, is able to continue his studies thanks to donations, despite challenges such as traveling two hours on a dirt road in the interior of the Amazon to take exams.
According to Célia Carneiro, the campaign coordinator, the difference lies in the way the Economy of Communion accompanies people — not only in the allocation of funds.
“The support offered to individuals and families involves a great deal of respect, care, and an awareness that the person must be the protagonist of their own story. We stand beside them, helping them recognize their potential so they can overcome vulnerabilities.”
In 2025, the campaign brings a new feature: the launch of a donations platform.
“With the intention of making the various donation methods easier and of being increasingly transparent, we launched a modern, intuitive platform that shows fundraising results in real time, in addition to presenting our impact over recent years,” explains Cibele Lana, EdC’s communications coordinator.
For Verônica Farias, EdC’s administrative/operations manager, the campaign is now truly global.
“For some years now, people from other countries have been reaching out to us, expressing their desire to support our initiatives — and now, with the new platform, this possibility has finally become a reality. We have expanded participation and impact, allowing donations to come from anywhere in the world — a significant step toward strengthening our mission and connecting even more people to the purpose of the Economy of Communion.”
For Jomery Nery, president of EdC Brazil, the strength of the campaign lies in communion.
“The Economy of Communion is this great community that sees itself as a family. That’s why the sharing of resources — from individuals and businesses — for our cause of eradicating poverty is part of our identity. It is this communion, with donations ranging from 10 reais to tens of thousands, that ultimately drives social transformation across Brazil.”
EdC believes that every donation makes a difference. To participate and help transform lives, simply visit doe.edc.com.br.
