We believe in our work and rejoice in watching hundreds of communities transformed by successful initiatives across South America.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director Cristina Orph\u00eao talks about the importance of this partnership: \u201cThere was great synergy between the two Funds and a deep experience in our joint action. Through this partnership, we were able to support 100 projects, each with a R$ 30,000 grant, totaling R$ 3 million in grants; in addition, we provided capacity building workshops for grantees. Thus, we managed to expand the alternatives for communities to seek their sustainability and strengthen their local protagonism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Efficient and innovative strategy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Jean Rodrigues Benevides, directly responsible for this partnership, is the Caixa Econ\u00f4mica Federal (Federal Savings Bank) National Sustainability and Socioenvironmental Accountability Manager. He explains what has led to this confluence: \u201cThe objectives and the way CASA operates attracted our interest because of its proposal to support small projects of great impact. The structure of the CAIXA Socioenvironmental Fund is very large and, thus, our operating costs are high. That\u2019s why we were interested in formalizing a partnership with the CASA Fund. There was a convergence of interests and the perspective of reducing operating costs to expand our action within the guidelines of our institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The partnership is just beginning. Reports of the first projects have yet to be concluded, but Jean shows his appreciation of the scope of the calls for projects: \u201cEven before knowing the results in detail, we can see the great diversity and the wealth of themes included in the call for projects, with a huge capillarity, reaching out to groups and communities throughout the country. These projects reproduce in a very concrete way the motto \u201cthink global, act local.\u201d There are projects focusing on climate change, poverty reduction, income generation, creation of social technologies, sustainable consumption, and citizens\u2019 action networks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most innovative aspect of the CASA Fund is its strategy and model used to publicize the call for projects, which is broad and involves extensive participation. The network of partner institutions allows the call for projects to reach an audience of communities and organizations that otherwise would never see a public call for projects. There is a synergy,\u201d added Jean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>The sun is free for all<\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3594\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/img-16651.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3594\" class=\"wp-image-3594 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/img-16651.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_1665\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solar panels in the Gurup\u00e1 community at the mouth of the Amazon River.

He explained that the \u201cCampaign arose from the Climate Change and Social Justice Forum, and aims to promote a new policy for the energy sector in Brazil that takes into account the challenges posed by the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. It is based on the principles of economic efficiency, social justice, respect for cultural diversity, democratic participation, and environmental sustainability. This is the objective of the \u201cEnergy for Life\u201d project that promotes and gives visibility to photovoltaic solar energy and was approved in this joint call for projects of the CAIXA and CASA Funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are organizing workshops to explain in the simplest and most popular way what is photovoltaic energy, its potential, and ways to use it,\u201d said Joilson. \u201cWe are gathering a very broad audience, such as local communities where the meetings take place, engineering and architecture students to answer their doubts, and to explain the benefits of photovoltaic energy produced by solar panels at private residences and companies. We want to show that nowadays the technology is very simple, viable, and could be facilitated by special credit lines.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3595\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20160430-140902-1080x6081-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3595\" class=\"wp-image-3595 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20160430-140902-1080x6081-1.jpg\" alt=\"20160430_140902-1080x608\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joilson Costa in one of the presentations made by the project Nossa CASA Solar (Our Solar Home).

We don\u2019t need further expansion of hydroelectric power plants that violate community and environmental rights; we don\u2019t need the conflicts arising from aeolic energy, nor burn fuels at thermoelectric power plants. The sun is here, it\u2019s free and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(*) Energy and Income Generation Project implemented in residences in Praia do Rodeadouro and Morada do Salitre in Juazeiro, Bahia State, both part of the program My House My Life, supported with funds from FSA CAIXA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Illuminating life and conscience<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This same awareness mobilized the Surucu\u00e1 community, in the Tapaj\u00f3s Arapiuns Extractivist Reserve on the Middle Tapaj\u00f3s River, to create a power generating project through a photovoltaic miniplant to process native fruits and cassava flour.

(Photo: Archive CASA Fund)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The project was presented by the Surucu\u00e1 Agroextractivist Residents and Producers Community Association (AMPROSURT). Project coordinator \u00c2ngelo Ricardo Souza Chaves was born in a family that has always lived in the Surucu\u00e1 community and is proud of descending from Indigenous peoples. He says he\u2019s got Indigenous blood and habits. Born and raised in the community, he only left at 17 to study in Manaus. He moved to take a technical course in agriculture and animal husbandry, but ended up staying in the capital. He graduated from the Environmental Engineering Faculty, married, but decided to return home. The desire to help his community with his accumulated experience was a childhood dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a big challenge, said \u00c2ngelo. Despite the beauty of the place, there are many social problems, there is a lack of structure, and corruption is rampant. It\u2019s very difficult to deal with this reality, but we need to find solutions for the community. The Association already existed when I returned, but it was disorganized. When we heard about the CASA Fund call for projects, we brought the community together and decided to submit a proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on this movement, the community got together to broadly discuss the issues involving the Extractivist Reserve. Several partnerships were initiated, the Association was strengthened as an institution, and the creation of a cooperative was proposed to supply products to the government.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>The natural dynamics of rivers and populations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the beginning, many people did not believe [it would work out],\u201d continued \u00c2ngelo. \u201cThey said they had gone through this before, they had tried other projects, but they had never worked. However, with just a few actions, we achieved some progress. Cassava flour, the community\u2019s main product, has more value now. We are improving process hygiene and flour quality, creating a reference for this organic product.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3624\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20160124-0955441.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3624\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3624\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/20160124-0955441.jpg\" alt=\"Community gathered together to discuss the AMPROSURT project.

The communities will be directly affected by the Tapaj\u00f3s River dam for the main planned hydroelectric power plant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main food of the riverbank communities is the fish they catch and the whole ecosystem will be affected by the dam constructions. People are still under the illusion of having electricity or employment. This is the fantasy peddled to those populations who want the right to energy, but are unable to assess the impacts, and don\u2019t know there are alternatives. The photovoltaic miniplant project is an example of a viable alternative, possible and without impact&#8230; Outside people see forest and rivers through their economic potential. With this view, they believe they have to occupy those spaces and take advantage of this potential. In fact, this region is already occupied, it has a population that uses those resources and realizes their importance. There is a natural dynamics of rivers and populations; for centuries, capitalism, in its ignorance, has disrespected it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>We have been here for a long time<\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3596\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dsc08528-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3596\" class=\"wp-image-3596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dsc08528-1.jpg\" alt=\"DSC08528_\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photovoltaic system installation at the Maceio Settlement in Itapipoca Cear\u00e1. Project carried out with support from the CAIXA Fund and CASA Fund.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another project accepted in this call for projects also involved the generation of photovoltaic energy in a community facing a different reality, albeit no less complex. The project was presented by the Macei\u00f3 Algae Producers Association (ACALMA) located in the Macei\u00f3 Settlement (Baleia District) in Itapipoca, Cear\u00e1 state. Seu Chico, as Francisco Gaspar dos Anjos is known, is the secretary of the Association founded in 2011. He talks about his community: \u201cWe live in the Macei\u00f3 Settlement, with eleven communities and a population of 6,000 people. However, for the last nine years we have maintained a resistance campsite on the beach, to defend this territory against a large real estate development. We have been here for a long time, and we have our traditional way of occupying the land; we are farmers and fishers. That\u2019s why the Association is an important instrument in the struggle to show we have a project for this beach area that ensures people free access to the sea. We appreciate our culture, collective work, the presence of youth. We organize courses, gatherings, research, and exchanges to further consolidate our organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, in addition to farming and fishing, we cultivate algae in the coastal sea. We collect the algae without damaging the environment or their reproduction; then, they are placed on PVC-pipe floaters to grow until they are ready to be harvested and processed. With the harvested seaweed we make products such as mousse, <i>cocalga<\/i> (a sweet seaweed bar), and dried ground algae. That\u2019s why this CASA-funded project is so important. The electricity brought to our camp will consolidate our struggle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3597\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dsc08520-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3597\" class=\"wp-image-3597 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dsc08520-1.jpg\" alt=\"DSC08520_\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photovoltaic system installation at the Maceio Settlement in Itapipoca Cear\u00e1.

We have urban action projects, tourism in Rocinha, recyclable waste pickers, Indigenous women producing arts and crafts \u2013 all very important and diverse issues. Among the target audience, we can identify women, young people, Indigenous people, and networks of productive chains. This adds dimension and scope to the call for projects, focusing its purpose of being aligned to public policies, such as the water policy in this time of water shortages.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3598\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/rocinha1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3598\" class=\"wp-image-3598 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/casa.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/rocinha1.jpg\" alt=\"rocinha\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Project Assistant Claudia Gibele, responsible for monitoring the projects of the partnership CAIXA Fund &#8211; CASA Fund, visiting the project along with representatives of the Rocinha Center for Tourism and Environment.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This issue of water is present in some emblematic projects, such as \u201cCollecting water, sowing life\u201d of the Boa Esperan\u00e7a Agroecological Farmers\u2019 Cooperative (COOAABE). This temporary settlement was created eight years ago in the Jo\u00e3o Ramalho municipality, a conflict-ridden region in northwestern S\u00e3o Paulo state known as the Pontal do Paranapanema. There are many problems in this settlement: a general lack of structure for people living there; the land was divided up in lots but there is no common land for cultivation, no technical support is available; there are alcoholism issues and political conflicts \u2013 all this aggravated by water shortages that block any cultivation in many of the lots.<\/p>\n<p>Presented by the cooperative, the project has already concluded the construction of the three planned water tanks, using the technique of iron reinforced cement, to collect rainwater making possible cultivation on lots selected by the Association for this project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Curing the land<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dona Diva and Sebasti\u00e3o Mendes de Oliveira (better known as Ti\u00e3o) are married and have raised a beautiful family.
