The project was launched during a virtual meeting on the "Teams" platform, which involved many collaborators from the Salesian presences of the BBH Province. During the launch, other initiatives promoted by the Church and the Salesian Congregation for next year were also mentioned in conjunction with the Province's initiative to remain committed to spreading the historical legacy of Don Bosco.
The Saint John Bosco Province was established on 11 December 1947 and established its headquarters at the Saint Francis de Sales Salesian school in the Riachuelo district of Rio de Janeiro. It included the States of Espírito Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and the Federal District. In 1963, the Province headquarters moved to the Salesian College in Belo Horizonte. In September 1976 it moved to the current headquarters at Bairro Dom Cabral.
The provincial activities are linked to education, social action and evangelisation. In 2023, the Province also won the "100 best Brazilian NGOs to donate to" award for the fifth time. The award for the best NGOs takes into account aspects such as governance, transparency, communication and funding.
