Our story
Created in 1959 by Dom Hélder Câmara, the organization was named “Bank” because at that time the population in a situation of social vulnerability did not have access to the banks of the financial system. Banco da Providência was born with the mission of contributing to an egalitarian society, in which even the most vulnerable would have “a bank” to call their own. And for more than half a century it is a reference in meeting social demands.
Faced with so much demand, there is also a concern to raise enough resources to meet the needs of the people served. It was from there that, in December 1959, the first action took place that would give rise to the traditional Feira da Providência two years later.

Dom Helder Câmara
Founder of Banco da Providencia
Born in Fortaleza, Ceará, he was ordained a priest at age 22. Transferred to Rio de Janeiro in 1936, he took on the challenge of anticipating pastoral solutions in favor of those living in poverty and indigence. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 7 times, Dom Hélder was more concerned with overcoming poverty. He believed in the importance of the militancy of small groups, in the militancy of the laity and in their role in transforming the excluding and generating reality of inequalities. When he created the Banco da Providência in 1959 he thought of a "bank" whose greatest capital is human capital and the greatest profit is solidarity.
“True peace will only be achieved when there is
courage to create real conditions of justice”
