About AESC - Associação Educadora São Carlos

The Associação Educadora São Carlos (AESC) is an institution focused on health and education. Through its hospital and outpatient facilities and its schools, it promotes educational prevention actions and seeks to ensure socio-assistential rights to improve the population's quality of life. Founded in 1962, its headquarters are in Caxias do Sul and its units are in six municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul. Its origin is due to the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo-Scalabrinians, who, present in Rio Grande do Sul since 1915, came with the aim of serving, in particular, vulnerable migrant people in their socio-economic and cultural condition from their places of origin.
