CARING FOR EVERY DETAIL
Applying our way of doing things to everything we do: with dedication and attention to detail. Thinking not only about meeting needs, but also honoring the wishes of those living on the streets.
WE TRANSFORM THE REALITY OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THROUGH THE STORIES OF EVERY CORNER OF SÃO PAULO

Today, through our work, we seek to provide individualized care experiences through active and non-judgmental listening, promoting welcoming and affection in our interactions with people experiencing homelessness.

OUR VALUES
WALKING WITH FAITH
Genuinely believing that this journey leads toward a more positive future. One story, one person, one corner at a time.
LOOKING EYE TO EYE
Genuinely looking at people connects us to their stories, making it possible to understand their needs and find the best way to help them.
RESPECTING INDIVIDUALITY
There are many reasons, contexts, and paths that lead people to the streets. We must treat every journey with compassion, solidarity, and a non-judgmental gaze.
OUR TRANSFORMATION
SP Invisível believes that life on the streets cannot define a person's future. Behind every story, there are talents, dreams, and the desire to start over. We remain present through relief and emergency initiatives, offering care to those who need it right now, while investing in professional training, income generation, and job market inclusion. By walking alongside each journey, we help strengthen self-esteem and autonomy, opening paths to break the cycle of poverty and build a future with new possibilities.

Qual é a história da SP Invisível?
We are a social awareness NGO that seeks to transform the stories of people experiencing homelessness! We were founded in 2014 during an activity at the Baptist Church, when our founders André Soler and Vinícius Lima were tasked with photographing everything that was invisible in the city of São Paulo. Following that activity, dozens of photos of people experiencing homelessness emerged, leading them to reflect: “What is invisible is not the person who is there, but their life story…” Since then, the NGO SP Invisível has been sharing the stories of people experiencing homelessness to educate, raise awareness, and sensitize society. Today, we seek to transform reality through job training and employability for people experiencing homelessness.
