This initiative combines science and compassion in Campina Grande, Paraíba, and Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. At the Professor Joaquim Amorim Neto Assistance Institute, children with neurological disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, or nerve endings receive the essential treatments they need.

A multidisciplinary team composed of physiotherapists, psychologists, and medical professionals provides comprehensive care, giving each child access to personalized treatments. We also focus on strengthening family bonds and creating opportunities for families to interact and support each other.

Fraternity Without Borders embraced this cause in 2017, inspired by the dedication and efforts of physician and researcher Adriana Melo, who first discovered the link between the Zika virus and microcephaly.

As research and preventive measures have advanced, new Zika-related microcephaly cases have decreased. Consequently, Fraternity Without Borders has expanded its mission to include treatment for children affected by various neurological disorders, such as rare metabolic disorders like PDHA1, Cerebral Palsy, Myelomeningocele Syndrome, Arnold Chiari Syndrome, Cerebral Atrophy, GRIN2A, Epilepsy, DiGeorge Syndrome, Hydrocephalus, Dante Walker Syndrome, Allan Herndon Dudley Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Calcification, Lissencephaly, Bilateral Periventricular Leukomalacia, West Syndrome, Polymicrogyria, and Schizencephaly.

Your support can transform lives. Become a sponsor and provide these children and their families the hope and care they deserve!
