# Educational Tour Operators Ma Vision Proposes Favela Initiatives in Sao Paulo, Brazil By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-08-19 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-vision References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/mavision.sas) At SocialBusiness.org, we love featuring the newest and latest social enterprise projects and Ma Vision is one of those projects that's so new that it doesn't have a website yet. This grassroots initiative is currently looking for more funding and partnership. The ultimate goal, however, is an [educational tour company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ef-ultimate-break) that will have a stay in a favela in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This isn't supposed to be pure vacation, however, Ma Vision will partner with associations and resident groups on the ground in order to [support education and other social aims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-nonprofit-organization). Check out the featured images to view some of the in-depth slides from Ma Vision's deck. SocialBusiness.org will keep our readers posted as things progress for this project. **Contact Information** Ma Vision on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/mavision.sas) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Educational Tours in Favelas:** Educational tours that partner with associations and resident groups on the ground in favelas can disrupt the traditional travel industry by offering a unique and socially impactful experience. - **Grassroots Educational Initiatives:** Grassroots educational initiatives can disrupt the traditional education industry by providing access to education for underserved communities. - **Socially Responsible Tourism:** Socially responsible tourism can disrupt the traditional tourism industry by providing a way for travelers to give back to communities and support social aims. ### Where This Applies - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry has the opportunity to incorporate socially responsible tourism into their offerings, providing a unique and impactful experience for travelers. - **Education:** The education industry has the opportunity to support grassroots initiatives like Ma Vision and provide access to education for underserved communities through partnerships with educational tour companies. - **Nonprofit and Social Enterprise:** Nonprofit and social enterprise organizations can partner with grassroots initiatives like Ma Vision to support their goals and provide funding and resources for educational programs in underserved communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Youth Education Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fp-markets-cricket-brasil.md) - [Technology-Enabled Educational Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-schools-for-all.md) - [Empowering Educational Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sight-school.md) - [Activity-Based Travel Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ef-adventures.md) - [Conscientious Tourism Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/against-overtourism.md) - [Cultural Travel Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventure-homestay1.md) - [Deaf Youth-Supporting Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hands-of-hope-laos.md) - [Italian Tour Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-with-amore.md) - [South American Sightseeing Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guided-tours-to-chile.md)
