Who we help: children with cancer and the environment!
Do you know your bottle caps and ring pulls can make a difference? You can support fundraising that will be a 100% converted in resources to treat children battling cancer.
Get to know the beneficiaries of the Tampinhas que Curam project and how your donation can make a difference.
The Tampinhas que Curam project has two main beneficiaries: children undergoing cancer treatment and the environment. By collecting plastic caps and can seals, we can generate financial resources to help treat these children, who are often in delicate financial situations. In addition, by recycling these materials, we are contributing to the preservation of the environment, preventing this waste from being disposed of inappropriately in nature.
That's why your donation of bottle caps and bottle seals is so important! Every donation counts and can make a difference to the life of a child with cancer. Join us in this noble cause and help turn bottle caps into hope and care for the environment!
Meet some of the children who have already been helped by the Tampinhas que Curam project.
