VV Action Sertão da Paraíba BRL 2,570.00

The Sertão is a region of Brazil of unique and remarkable beauty, but which suffers greatly from poverty aggravated by the high rate of
birth rate, low schooling and long periods of drought.

The Sertão of the State of Paraíba is one of the regions that most need help in the country and it is more precisely in the city of Piancó, which is 400 km from João Pessoa, capital of the State, that the VV volunteer will work. Piancó is a municipality in Paraíba with an estimated population of 16,039 inhabitants, being one of the oldest cities in the state of Paraíba. That's where our partner, LoveTogether, operates. LoveTogether is a non-profit institution founded in 2014 with the proposal to carry out, with the support of volunteers and the partnership of public and private companies and institutions, specific actions in education, health and water supply in the Sertão. It is with this support that in the last 3 years, the actions of Love Together Brasil have been intensified to alleviate the problem of water scarcity in needy communities in the Northeast region, notably in Sertão da Paraíba, with the drilling/installation of artesian wells in Creches, Schools, Hospitals and Urban and Rural Communities, through the Project “WATER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEED”, benefiting thousands of people. 

In order to generate a positive impact in a universal language, VV has the UN Sustainable Development Goals integrated into their respective strategic pillars and as decision-making.   

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global agenda adopted during the United Nations (UN) Summit on Sustainable Development in September 2015 consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030.

VV meets the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For programs in Brazil we work:

- SDG 4: Quality Education

- SDG 10: Reduction of inequalities  

- SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
