Grant Description

Centro de Documentao Eloy Ferreira da Silva (CEDEFES), will conduct research into the collaborative practices of women who engage in agriculture and craftsmaking in 20 quilombola communities in two regions in the state of Minas Gerais. The resulting analysis is expected to help 100 women organize better so they increase their income.

Another 400 quilombola residents should benefit indirectly.
