The institution Recanto Infantil Tia Célia emerged on February 9, 1999, in view of the need to assist children and adolescents in social vulnerability in the city of Mauá, in the community of Jardim Ipê. Therefore, concerned about the situation of these families and their children, the entity sought to qualify its services in order to comply with the legislation, ensuring the rights guaranteed in the Statute of Children and Adolescents (1990).
