Chelsea’s teenage sensation and Brazil’s rising star, Estevão Willian, is showing that his heart remains firmly rooted in his hometown of Franca, São Paulo. According to a report by ge.globo, the 17-year-old winger is set to launch a social institute in 2026 dedicated to transforming young lives through education, health, and sports, all completely free of charge.
The initiative, personally funded by Estevão, will serve around 3,000 children aged 7 to 18 years old from underprivileged backgrounds in Franca. The project’s vision is to create a space where kids can develop academically, athletically, and personally, supported by high-quality facilities and professional staff.
The institute will offer comprehensive educational programs, including tutoring, digital literacy, and language courses, while also providing health and nutrition services to ensure every child’s well-being. Sport, particularly football, will play a central role, with structured training and competitions designed to promote teamwork, discipline, and inclusion.
