IMT Logistics is the new supporter of the Gerando Falcões Network

The company will handle international transport of the goods collected at the organization's events in the United States

Specializing in global mobility and multimodal transport, IMT Logistics anuncia apoio à Rede Gerando Falcões, a social development ecosystem working in favelas across Brazil. The company will handle international transport of the goods collected at Gerando Falcões events in the United States.

The partnership kicks off with the event “From a favela to the word”, held in Miami on November 11 as part of Gerando Falcões' international expansion. The fundraising dinner will feature Edu Lyra, founder of the initiative, who is expected to present GF's various projects, including Favela 3D, which aims to transform Brazilian favelas into hubs of production and entrepreneurship.

Guests will be able to donate clothes, shoes and bags, which IMT Logistics will transport from the United States to Brazil. The items' final destination is the Gerando Falcões Bazaar, which gives low-income families access to consumer goods. The donated products are sold at prices 70% below regular market value, and all proceeds go back into Gerando Falcões Network programs.

“It is an honor to be part of a network that transforms so many lives. May this be the start of a long partnership for Brazil's social development,” says Tiago Moreira, CEO of IMT Logistics, which has offices in São Paulo, Fortaleza, Miami and New York. Providing education, citizenship and economic development services, the Gerando Falcões Network has already reached more than 1,500 favelas in 27 Brazilian states. Continuously expanding, the initiative plans to be present in 2,990 favelas by 2023. More information about Gerando Falcões is available on the official website: www.gerandofalcoes.com
