About Movimento Saúde Mental

The Movimento de Saude Mental Comunitaria do Bom Jardim (MSMCBJ) was initiated in 1996 as part of the outreach of the Comboni Missionaries in the Northeast of Brazil. MSMCBJ seeks to improve the lives of the people of the economically impoverished peripheral regions of Fortaleza, primarily the area of Grande Bom Jardim. To imagine a mental health project in a peripheral neighborhood like Bom Jardim, where the majority of people live in at-risk circumstances - in which extreme poverty, violence, a lack of housing and basic sanitation, street children, and unemployment predominate - is to believe that, even within pain and suffering, we can harvest flowers.

The challenge that MSMCBJ has been overcoming throughout its years of community action has been to demonstrate that, through the Community Systemic Approach, working with people's self-esteem results in greater self-awareness, which empowers people to create paths of liberation, thanks to the sense of participation and co-responsibility that MSMCBJ activities favor. The Movimento de Saude Mental Comunitaria do Bom Jardim welcomes the human being, respecting their bio-psycho-socio-spiritual dimensions, promoting the development of their potential, through the restoration of human rights and cultural values, with the goal of improving the quality their personal, interpersonal, and community relationships, for the promotion of the gift of life.

Among human services charities registered in Brazil: Movimento Saúde Mental's GiveRadar Integrity Assessment of 33/100 is in line with the peer average of 39/100.

Movimento Saúde Mental is registered in Brazil. While general charitable donations are not directly deductible for individuals, donations to certain government-approved funds (such as those for children's rights or elderly welfare) may qualify for deductions of up to 6% of your income tax due.

You can verify Movimento Saúde Mental's legal status in three ways. First, search the Receita Federal CNPJ register at https://solucoes.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Servicos/cnpjreva/Cnpjreva_Solicitacao.asp - every legally-registered Brazilian organisation must appear there with its razão social, legal form, registered address, CNAE code, and current status. Second, search the Mapa das OSCs at https://mapaosc.ipea.gov.br/ - IPEA's public database of Brazilian civil-society organisations. Third, ask the organisation for its most recent estatuto social (bylaws, registered with the local cartório de registro civil de pessoas jurídicas) and its most recent prestação de contas (annual financial report) - legitimate Brazilian nonprofits will share these on request. If the CNPJ is active, the Mapa OSC record matches, and the estatuto / financial report are available, the organisation is legitimate.

You can donate to Movimento Saúde Mental directly through its donation page (https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/yes-to-life-help-vulnerable-kids-stay-drug-free/). Brazilian charities overwhelmingly use Pix - Brazil's instant central-bank payment system, free for individuals and accepted by every retail bank. Pix payments settle in seconds using the recipient's CPF/CNPJ, email, phone or random key (chave Pix) and are the default donation channel for most Brazilian nonprofits. Other common channels: boleto bancário (printable payment slip), TED / DOC bank transfer to the organisation's conta corrente, PicPay, Mercado Pago, PagSeguro, and credit card via Brazilian fundraising platforms such as Vakinha, Benfeitoria, Catarse, Kickante, and Sympla. International donors can give via PayPal, GoFundMe, or international wire transfer (SWIFT). For tax-deductible giving under IRPF (income tax), donations must be channelled through specific funds - FUMCAD / Fundo da Criança e do Adolescente, Fundo do Idoso, and incentive laws for culture (Lei Rouanet), sports (Lei de Incentivo ao Esporte) and health (Pronon, Pronas/PCD); donations to most other charities are NOT deductible from Brazilian income tax. Always confirm the recipient's CNPJ and current Receita status before sending funds.
