About the Foundation

Early Childhood First

Our History

Since its inception in 2007, the Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal has been dedicated to ensuring the full development of Brazilian children during their first few years of life so that they can enjoy a healthy and stimulating childhood, with their rights guaranteed.

Our Foundation’s journey began as a tribute to the memory of Maria Cecilia, who passed away at age 13 from leukemia. Her parents, banker Gastão Eduardo de Bueno Vidigal and his wife, Maria Cecília Souto Vidigal, established the Foundation in 1965.
