Bruno Mascarenhas is a 2004 Olympic medalist rower, coach, sports commentator, speaker and trainer.

Born in Lisbon in 1981, he moved to Rome with his family at the age of 10. He began rowing at the Circolo Canottieri Roma in 1994 and achieved international fame with his Olympic successes.

After his retirement from competitive activity, Mascarenhas became technical sports director of the Circolo Canottieri Roma. In 2020 he was chosen as a sports commentator for Rai Sport and in 2021 in Tokyo, he reported from the Olympics.

Mascarenhas is also a motivator and trainer. He is the author of two books and holds conferences and training courses on leadership, team building and personal development.

The spirit of solidarity and altruism which has always characterized Mascarenhas, led him to found, together with other athletes and personalities from the world of culture and entertainment, the charity association "Miti dello sport" in 2023. It is committed to promoting charitable initiatives and raising public awareness. Of note is the project at the Rebibbia penitentiary institute “Rebibbia & Sport” to support and involve prisoners and penitentiary staff.

The Cause

In Italia quasi un milione e quattrocentomila bambini vivono in povertà assoluta. Si registrano su tutto il territorio disuguaglianze socioeconomiche che incidono direttamente sulla salute dei bambini, penalizzando chi maggiormente avrebbe bisogno dei servizi di cura, prevenzione e promozione della salute e del benessere psico-fisico.

Gli interventi di Save the Children da anni si realizzano su territori e quartieri delle città italiane più prive di servizi per l’infanzia. In queste aree sono stati attivati una serie di interventi ad hoc e dal 2014 ad oggi sono stati aperti 26 Punti Luce, attraverso la campagna Illuminiamo il Futuro, con l’obiettivo di contrastare la povertà educativa e i disagi psico-fisici dei minori.

Si tratta di spazi gratuiti quotidiani ad alta intensità educativa, in 20 città italiane e 15 regioni (Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardia, Marche, Piemonte, Puglia, Sardegna, Sicilia, Toscana, Veneto).
I Punti Luce hanno accompagnato ad oggi più di 46.700 bambine, bambini e adolescenti tra i 6 e i 17 anni nel loro percorso per apprendere, sperimentare, sviluppare e far fiorire liberamente capacità, talenti e aspirazioni, grazie anche a più di 4.000 doti educative per i casi particolarmente difficili, individuati in rete con le istituzioni territoriali.
