Find out how we got here
Recode (then CDI, Comitê para a Democratização da Informática) was founded in 1995 as a pioneering initiative to promote the democratization of access to information technologies for residents of communities in Rio de Janeiro. With the support of companies and volunteers who embraced the cause of digital inclusion, the organization opened the first Computer and Citizenship Schools in various socially vulnerable communities in Rio de Janeiro.
Over time, the organization expanded its scope of action and began to dedicate itself to bringing digital empowerment to individuals in various countries through a network of partner organizations.
It’s been 29 years of constant transformation in which the organization has always been able to adapt to the external context and changes in society.
Our methodology
Recode carries out pedagogical work in communities where vulnerable people live, applying concepts and values strongly based on Paulo Freire’s pedagogy – education for awareness and social transformation – in its own methodology. We have a methodology of continuous and customized learning, which enables the individual to be a “reprogrammer” of their reality.
Our initiatives
We are a non-profit organization that bridges the gap between individuals or companies and quality social projects. We ensure that social investment has an effective impact. Our support is personalized: those who donate define the cause they want to work for and the way they want to relate to the project.
We have the chance to form protagonists of a major transformation. A new awareness for a new citizenship needs to be fostered. We combine this with the ethical and citizen use of technology, enhancing the possibilities for action and creation for the benefit of a positive impact on the world.
