🌎 Our Mission

Welcome to Raw Project,

If you're reading this, something probably brought you here—curiosity, connection, or maybe just a feeling.
Either way, I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Mariana, and this is my life’s dream in motion:

To build a school.
Not just any school—but a creative, soul-nurturing space in Brazil, my motherland.
A place where learning expands beyond textbooks—reconnecting us to our bodies, spirits, and the Earth.

✨ Why a School?

I grew up between two powerful, contrasting worlds—Brazil and Japan.

From Brazil, I inherited rhythm, chaos, joy, and human warmth.
From Japan, I absorbed harmony, structure, and a quiet kind of beauty.

But I also witnessed the shadows—poverty, pressure, emotional silence.

By experiencing two radically different cultures and educational systems, I saw the same truth in both:

Most of our personal and societal challenges begin in childhood—in how we’re taught, seen, and shaped.

And that’s when it hit me:
Education is the root of everything.

We need an education system that empowers us to navigate life with self-awareness, critical thinking, resilience—and a heart grounded in compassion.

💡 What is Raw Project?

Raw Project is a platform designed to reshape the way we live, buy, and give back.

We curate soulful, sustainable, and design-forward products that tell a story—each one handpicked to support a more conscious and liberated way of living.

Through partnerships with creators and brands who believe in purpose over profit, we're building an ecosystem that empowers people to make choices that nourish both themselves and the planet.

And most importantly—it’s how we’re funding our dream school in Brazil, one conscious choice at a time.

🌱 Our Pillars

1. Sustainability
We care deeply for our planet. We work with brands that prioritize eco-conscious materials, ethical production, and circular design. Because true beauty should never come at Earth’s expense.

2. Mindfulness

We believe in slowing down, choosing with intention, and reconnecting to what truly matters— Our most authentic selves. Because world peace begins within.

3. Fun
Yes—fun! Joy is healing. Smiles are powerful weapons. Life is sacred, and play keeps our hearts open. Through music, art, and curiosity—we unlock the energy that fuels meaningful transformation.

🤝 When You Support Raw, You Support:

🏫 The School We’re Building

We’re creating a space where education and healing go hand in hand.
Where children grow through creativity, nature, and emotional wisdom.
Where they learn how to lead from the heart—and dream without limits.

It will be a school like no other—and a model we hope to replicate across communities in need.

We may not see the whole world change in our lifetime.
But if we can change the world of at least one person, our mission is being fulfilled.

“If not now, then when?
If not us, then who?”

With gratitude and love,
Mariana
