The word AJITU is an acronym for the Portuguese sentence “Adolescentes e Jovens Influentes Trabalhando Unidos”, which can be translated as “Influential Teenagers and Youngsters Working Together”
This is a project of social intervention born a few years ago, in the heart of the Igreja Batista Filadelfia Lauzane (Sao Paulo, Brazil), thanks to the outreaching vision of Pastor Daniel Viana Rosa and the support of Pastor Ademir Nunes.
On the back of this project, Beatriz Viana (professionally known as Professora Bia) founded in 2017 the AJITU CAPOEIRA branch, which is currently present in Brazil, England and Croatia.
