Education and entrepreneurship

Since 2015, Liberty Seguros has been behind the Mulheres Seguras (Safe Women) program, through which it supports the female population looking to start or leverage their own business. To inspire and empower these women, the Company runs the Mulheres Seguras online platform (www.mulheresseguras.com.br) containing testimonials, tips and information about the world of entrepreneurship. The portal also serves for sharing achievements, lessons and difficulties, as well as enabling them to exchange best practices. Since it was launched towards the end of 2016, there have been 300,000 visits and 230 registrations for the portal newsletter.
In addition to its digital presence, Liberty is also physically present. In 2016, to celebrate the first anniversary of the Mulheres Seguras platform, and the Entrepreneur Day, a negotiation workshop was held with an outside consulting company, in addition to promoting networking among the project members. The Mulheres Seguras project remains one of the main points of the Education and Entrepreneurship pillar, and will be the subject of differentiated actions in 2017.
Focusing on the “rollout of projects via incentive laws”, Liberty Seguros increased its sponsorships in 2016, when it evaluated more than 100 proposals from different institutions. The Company opted to support six social projects under the Rouanet Law, the Sports Incentive Law, the National Senior Citizens Fund, the Municipal Fund for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (FUMCAD) and the State Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (Condeca). Over R$1.1 million were invested in these actions, involving themes such as education, job market inclusion and entrepreneurship. The projects are:
- Unibes Lab: based in São Paulo (SP), the Unibes Lab is an initiative of Unibes Cultural (the House of Culture of Israel), a non-profit organization that has been collaborating with human development for over 100 years. The project offers 240 activities a year for young entrepreneurs on free courses in animation movies, photography and music, as well as classes for creative and cultural entrepreneurs, coaching, co-working and mentoring for incubated companies. The action is supported under the Rouanet Law.
- Instituto Criar de TV, Cinema e Novas Mídias (The TV Creation, Cinema and New Media Institute): also under the Rouanet Law, Liberty Seguros will invest in the Institute, founded in 2003 in São Paulo (SP), with the mission of promoting the professional, social, cultural and personal development of young people using the audiovisual media. Every year, 150 people between the ages of 17 and 20, in situations of social and economic vulnerability, receive technical audiovisual and sociocultural training for entering the labor market.
- CEAP: Through Condeca, the Company will continue supporting the Center for Assisted Vocational Education (CEAP), an NGO located on the south side of the city of São Paulo (SP), which since 1985 has offered full-time training to young people aged between 10 and 18 on technical and vocational courses. Around 700 people are attended to annually. CEAP is already a partner of Liberty Seguros in the Futuro de Valor (Future of Value) action under which, in December 2016, the Company in an alliance with Senac, made an impact on the lives of over 440 people in the Cidade Ademar community of São Paulo by putting on a series of educational workshops to promote their entry into the job market.
- Vocação Sustentável (Sustainable Vocation): since 1967, the NGO Vocação has dedicated its efforts to developing personal skills through work in the communities, investment in socio-educational projects for total development, running vocational courses and providing services to businesses. Through the FUMCAD, Liberty Seguros will invest in the NGO’s project for encouraging social and educational practices aimed at the total development of children, adolescents and their families, according to the basic principles of sustainability and conscientious consumption.
- Hospital Angelina Caron (The Angelina Caron Hospital): founded in 1983 and located in Curitiba (PR), the mission of this healthcare institution is to provide quality care to over 370,000 patients, of whom 95% depend on the public healthcare system. The project supported by Liberty Seguros is: Modern Radiotherapy for the Elderly, whose objective is to increase the amount and quality of the radiotherapy service available at the hospital. To that end, the objective of the action is to purchase a linear accelerator (radiotherapy equipment), which will enable an increase of 62% in the number of daily medical appointments. The sponsorship will take place through the National Fund for the Elderly.
- Fundação Tênis (Tennis Foundation): under the Sports Incentive Law, the Company will invest in the Tennis Foundation, created in 2001, and which runs activities in six cities in the states of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. The focus of the social, educational and sports program is to foster the values of friendship, respect and excellence through the sport. The initiative attends to over a thousand children and adolescents.
