A movement led by Brazil’s entrepreneurial ecosystem to transform public education

ZeroDois for Education is a movement uniting founders and venture capital investors committed to transforming Brazil’s public education. The initiative seeks to unlock a fundamental lever for national development by connecting private capital with high-impact educational projects.

In Brazil, nearly 38 million students attend public schools, yet fewer than 5% finish high school with adequate math and Portuguese skills. Donor-members-founders and investors-pledge at least 0.2% of their earnings or carry to advance programs that expand learning, innovation, and opportunity.

Each donation is directed through a rigorous curation process, conducted in partnership with the Lemann Foundation, ensuring that resources fund evidence-based solutions such as early literacy, teacher and leadership training, digital inclusion, and education policy advocacy.

ZeroDois cultivates a community of entrepreneurs and experts dedicated to transforming public education, offering access to data, learning experiences, and site visits that deepen understanding and accelerate systemic impact.

Donations support:

• Early literacy and numeracy programs that build strong learning foundations.
  
• Teacher and school leader development focused on pedagogy and management.
  
• Innovative education technologies that expand access and quality.
  
• Public policy advocacy promoting effective, scalable education reform.
  

“There is no lack of talent in Brazil, only of opportunity. Supporting ZeroDois means building the ground where the future will walk.”
– Luiz Guilherme Manzano, one of ZeroDois’ supporters
