Our Model

Home Our Model

We work focused on community development in the locations where our associates (Galvani Indústria, Comércio e Serviços SA e Galvani Participações e Investimentos) operate. And for us, community development begins with a sense of belonging to a particular group and the belief in their latent potential. With that in mind, the community begins to act collaboratively, recognizing their own resources as a leverage for their social and economic progress and articulating various stakeholders to strengthen collaboration among the people.

This process is always unique, which means it varies from community to community. There is no ready-to-use formula and its success is measured by the development of human capital, capital increase, as well as the authenticity and sustainability of the communities’ responses. The population ceases to act passively, becoming jointly responsible for local social issues and starting to believe in its own power to change things.
Throughout our history we learned a lot. Based on this knowledge, we designed a model that guides the development and implementation of our projects.

Our lines of action

Civil Society

One of our main focuses of action is in the expansion and development of local civil society to build shared solutions.

Public Administration

We recognize the important role played by public authorities and how relevant it is to foster cross-sector dialogue. Therefore, we are dedicated to improving and strengthening public authority in the places where we operate. We do this through partnerships with organizations that promote suitable training in that area.
Another focus of our work is the improvement of public education, especially in the early grades of city and state schools. This pillar of action includes partnerships with specialist organizations in this context.
