“I work in cooperation with Aliança Empreendedora since 2014, when the seed of the program Tecendo Sonhos began to sprout. I had always admired the professionalism and methodology of La Aliança, but indeed, the experience of working together for over three years, showed me that the program goes beyond everything. Tecendo Sonhos is a space to everyone who genuinely worries about the problem of slave work, where there is a strong sense of collective participation. I and the Alinha Institute are ambassadors of the aforesaid program, as I think that we all have a common objective, to transform the facts of that productive chain, and to have a positive impact in the life of thousands of tailors and seamstresses”.

"Tecendo Sonhos program surpasses the objectives of entrepreneurship and better living conditions, it is an emotional bond for those who participate. For the immigrant and for the volunteer as well. They have the sensitivity to understand that "conquering better conditions" goes beyond the rational, and involves friendships, love, affection, family and new connections".

"I deeply believe that inasmuch Tecendo Sonhos Program changed my life, it can undoubtedly continue to change many more new knowledge, new people and new possibilities. I remember when I still worked for the State Government of São Paulo, to begin our dialogue with Aliança Empreendedora. It was a moment of strangeness, elaboration and curiosity. From this mixture, we experienced the replication of ideas, the union and collaboration of people and the generation of dreams that came to be lived. Gratitude is what I feel!"

“I have been involved with Aliança Empreendedora (Entrepreneurial Alliance) since July 2014, when I was a mentor of the first NGO project related to the fashion zone, from the Alinha Institute emerged. It is a great pleasure to support and to be part of the Tecendo Sonhos (Weaving Dreams) Project. The performance of Aliança Empreendedora has been an inspiration and example for the fashion chain. In a human and loving way, Aliança launches seeds of hope and balance in a complex market lacking social initiatives. Accept my gratitude for allowing me to give and receive training and knowledge from this beautiful project.”

Social and sport projects Manager. He was part of the Project team “A message of freedom”, the forerunner of the program Tecendo Sonhos, in 2014
“There is a less visible São Paulo very near each one of us. A city with people who work and live relations that most people see little. There is nothing new. This innovation is in iniciatives like Tecendo Sonhos, that encourages fair labor relations, brings together different people and develops responsable consumption. Collaborating with projects like this is essential to talk less and to be fully involved in the changes necessary to reduce social imbalance.”
