given a challenge in which they had to use the following tools: stakeholders
map, empathy map and a form of ‘diagnosis’. To accomplish the task, the
applicants had to deliver their diagnosis form filled with their completed
empathy and stakeholders map.
The evaluation of this first part was performed by a committee of 29 people
formed by SGB and Centro Ruth Cardoso and invited entrepreneurs and
mentors from differente organizations, including SGB Lab partners.

06 finalists initiatives
100pepinosBy Fabiana Dias Moreira and Kátia Veríssimo
(Lab São Paulo)
It is a platform aiming to increase the quality refurbishment and
maintenance of houses managed by the house owners themselves. The
plataform helps the house owners to have a better and more beautiful house
without losing money and suffering with the frustration of constant delays
from bad suppliers. 100pepinos develops simple technical content, offering
assistance to those facing house repairs who do not want the stress.
55
AlinhaBy Monyse Almeida and Dariele Santos
(Lab São Paulo)
Degrading, ruthless and analogous to slavery. These are three very
commoncharacteristics in textile industry labor . Deeply troubled with
this realityy, these entrepreneurs used the Social Good Brazil Lab to
design Alinha. It is a plataform to accelerate and match, where partner
organizations will accelerate sewing workshops (support for formalization,
infrastructure, quality of the work provided, microcredit to purchase new
equipment). When ready, these workshops will be presented to the textile
industry and its supply chain in order to get better conditions in contracts.
Imposto vira culturaBy Lidiane Lemes (Lab Florianópolis)
74% of the cultural projects legally able to offer tax deduction do not manage
to raise the necessary funds to be implemented. Imposto vira cultura (tax
turns into culture) is a crowdfunding platform that wants to connect those
who work with culture and those who can finance projects. Nobody will
put money in: you designate your due taxes to help cultural projects you
want to see implemented. It is a platform and a campaign to clarify how
tax deduction works and offer a digital trusteeship with the participation of
the society: “Imposto vira cultura is a crowdfunding platform, using the tax
deduction system for cultural projects. Promote culture with your taxes!”.
56
InforpeopleBy Jorge Henrique da Silva and Fabiano Luiz Tristão
(Lab Florianópolis)
Less than 10% of the population in Brazil is involved in volunteering. The
number is below the rate in countries of similar economy such as India,
Russia and Mexico. When asked why they are not volunteering, Brazilians
main reasons are lack of transparency and not knowing how to help. To
attract volunteers is not the main activity of the nonprofits. To close these
gaps and get volunteering back to help increase non-profits impact is
the aim of Inforpeople. The process consists of collecting data about the
nonprofits, analysing and telling their story. This happens through an app,
where people will know more about the nonprofit’s cause and work and can
apply for a volunteer position. The platform already counts on the support of
partner and registered institutions: “Interactive data that tell the story of the
social cause and get people engaged? Here it is! #inforpeople.”

MaishaBy Leonardo Aguiar and Marisângela Brittes
(Lab Florianópolis)
Give voices to silent diseases. This is Maisha’s goal. It is an m-health platform
that allows information exchange. The idea was developed because chronic
diseases such as high blood pressure are responsible for 75% of global
expenses in health care. Part of this money could be saved with prevention
and that is Maisha’s focus. The tool used is very simple, functional and
unexpensive: SMS. The target public are the public and private health care
systems and there are negotiations in course with the Association of People
With Disabilities (APAE) of the city of Itajaí (Santa Catarina, Brazil) and a city
council: “We found a way to improve your health and the health of the entire
population, relieving the health care system by using simple, efficient and
low cost technology.”

Portal SuperAçãoBy Leticia Borges Taveira and Gabriella Barros Besser
(Lab São Paulo)

promoting connection, visibility and direct contact with their target
public, making impact in the entire public health systeam and promoting
collaboration for the common good. The first users of the plataform are
dealing with dieases such as cancer, HIV and chemical dependence.
"The 2014 Social Good Brazil Lab's team and consultants are confident
using the tools, believe in the projects and live social innovation."
