Karanba is a social project situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Using football as an instrument, we aim to help children and youth from the favelas, by offering them an opportunity for education and personal development through a varied activity program. Karanba constantly seeks to gather and inspire souls who, on a daily basis, encounter a harsh environment that is largely dominated by crime and drug trafficking.

Advarsel

TV-serien på NRK1 har bidratt til stor og positiv oppmerksomhet for Karanba. Det er vi svært takknemlig for. TV-serien har dessverre også åpnet for det som later til å være svindel. Vi har mottatt meldinger om at noen ringer rundt og gir uttrykk for at de samler inn penger til Karanba. Støtte til Karanba foregår pr. i dag KUN ved å sette inn penger på vår konto eller i sammenheng med å bli medlem. Alle andre måter er utenfor det Karanba representerer.

Vi ber om at alle er oppmerksom på dette. Det er virkelig trist at andre skal utnytte seg av oss, da vi kjemper en konstant økonomisk kamp for å overleve. Hvis du har blitt utsatt for denne form for innsamling, ber vi om at du sender oss en melding med beskrivelse.
