Friends of
Ẹgbẹ́

Amigos de Ẹgbẹ́ [Friends of Ẹgbẹ́] is an initiative led by the Sàlámì family, with the collaboration of members of the Oduduwa Temple of the Òrìṣà.

The project began in 2002 with an annual celebration that promoted joy and solidarity among children, initially in orphanages in the city of São Paulo. In 2005, the focus shifted to the town of Mongaguá, on the southern coast of São Paulo state, where a partnership was established with the Oduduwa Temple of the Òrìṣà, ​​and this celebration became part of the temple's annual calendar.
This non-profit festival is rooted in the philosophy of the orisha Ẹgbẹ́, which addresses issues such as socialization, benevolence, respect, social integration, and ecological and human balance. Even so, it has no religious affiliation.
This social action aims to provide a day of joy, culture, and healthy interaction for approximately 1,000 children, contributing to their development and self-esteem.
