The selected institutions participated in a call for proposals launched by Itaipu at the end of last year. According to the binational company, the total investment earmarked for this area is almost R$3,5 million.
Among the beneficiaries is the Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional (APAE) of Foz do Iguaçu, which will receive R$30 for the project Apaexonados pelo Esporte – Olímpiada da Apae.
Itaipu's sponsorship aims to support initiatives that promote inclusion and social development. In the case of APAE in Foz do Iguaçu, the event will feature sports and recreational activities for people with multiple types of disabilities.
“Without Itaipu’s sponsorship, we would not be able to hold the Olympics now,” says Leonardo Corrêa Lugon, president of the entity, quoted by the plant’s press office.
APAE in Foz do Iguaçu serves almost 500 students in two educational units. In addition, it provides more than two thousand monthly health care services and is expanding its social assistance sector.
Other institutions benefiting from Itaipu's sponsorship include APAE in Dourados (MS), which will also receive R$30 to organize the APAE Special Olympics – Regional Edition.
Of the 90 entities included, seven are from Foz do Iguaçu, with funding of R$220; 16 from Curitiba, with R$710; eight from Marechal Cândido Rondon, with R$280; five from Pato Branco, with R$260; five from Londrina, with R$190; and others from cities located in the area of influence of the plant.

According to Itaipu, the sponsorship selection process “was carried out through a public notice, ensuring transparency and compliance”.
