History

Based upon the work of Sri Ramakrishna, the Ramakrishna was founded in 1959 by professor Arlinda Coria da Silva in the city of Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Between 1963 and 1964, Prof. Arlinda opened the first two buildings of the institution, which provided internships for children at social risk. In 1992, Ramakrishna's services were opened to the general public of the region, boosting Ramakrishna's growth and its general need for projects, due to the need for a bigger institution to attend to the needs of the community. Until 2011, the Ramakrishna already had 21 social projects, and they occupied a vast area with multiple buildings.

Work policy

The Ramakrishna Institution was established to promote social welfare, education, job training, culture, environmental awareness, recreation, and sports for children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, and living in suburban neighborhoods and rural areas of the city of Betim. Parallel to this work, Ramakrishna works with their families.
