Social Action
Over 40 years of history, thousands of people, and the same simple gesture, that of giving. To give opportunity and hope, donating to lead the way to a mutually supportive, just, and fraternal world. And with this work, give an example of the action that creates harmony in diversity, creating conditions and new possibilities. This is the natural behavior of people who have expanded their consciousness and have come to feel responsible for the environment in which they live and for their fellow beings.
As a result of this process of expanding their view beyond themselves, a group of PRÓ-VIDA participants accepted Dr. Celso Charuri’s proposal and the General Center for the Tithe was founded on October 12, 1979, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Two months later, the first donation was made in the city of Birigui, state of São Paulo. Since then, this movement has only grown.
Currently, there are Centers for the Tithe in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Italy and in Portugal. Combined they have made over 13,000 donations to charitable and philanthropic institutions for social assistance and have built 15 vocational schools.
The funds are donated anonymously and spontaneously and are used in full to assist charitable institutions, with no operating expenses. The centers are independent: there is no economic relationship between them.
The work is carried out voluntarily. All financial transactions have been accounted for since its foundation and all operations, statements and balance sheets are audited by an international company and presented at the Annual General Meeting.
