Connecting American generosity to a brighter future for children with disabilities in Brazil
Friends of Baby Jesus, Inc. was established in 2021 to provide na easy, reliable, and cost-effective way for American individuals, families, corporations, and foundations to donate to the Jesus Child Catholic Community. We strive to build a better world, with less suffering for the people who live in the Jesus Child Community, and we make it easy to donate to create a more just society.




The Jesus Child Community, founded by Antônio Carlos Tavares de Mello in 1990 in Petrópolis, Brazil, is an association of the faithful dedicated to welcoming, adopting and protecting men and women, children and adults, with disabilities.
Currently, the community headquarters houses 46 children with disabilities, providing them with education, assistance and an environment of faith and love, reaffirming their dignity as loved and welcomed human beings.The community is located on a donated farm in Petrópolis and maintained exclusively by donations. It is composed of committed lay people who seek to live the evangelical counsels of poverty, obedience, chastity, and married members. The community is dedicated to restoring the value of life and family.
