Casa do Menor Nova Canaã (Grupo de Oração Maranatha)
It was born in October 1977 by Rosicler Maria de Camargos Cunha, or Dona Rosita, now 86 years old, who was visiting Campos do Jordão (SP) in the 70s when she realized that there were no street children there. A Franciscan friar assisted and cared for children in social vulnerability. From there Dona Rosita began planning, together with a group of prayers, a house that would come to attend children and underprivileged youth in Uberlândia.
