Grounded in São Paulo, in 1989, Vitae Civilis’ first headquarters was in São Lourenço da Serra (SP), a small town located in the Vale do Ribeira region. After the accomplishment of well succeeded local projects, it decided to move to the city of São Paulo and establish a new office in 2009. The reason for which it decided to move to São Paulo is related to the need of enhancing institutional articulation and development due to it’s vast experience acquired through years of experience in it’s programs, projects and activities at a local, national and international level.
