Grant Description

Associao dos Remanescentes do Quilombo de Pombal (ARQP) will work with 160 Afro-Brazilian farmers resettled through Brazil's program of land reform in So Tiago in the municipality of Santa Rita do Novo Destino, state of Gois, to develop the association's fund for equipment to improve production, and to launch a cooperative that buys the community's produce to sell in volume.
