Sustainable Trememb: Strengthening and Consolidating a Social and Environmental Impact Business

Indigenous Trememb people in Brazil's dry region often work as day laborers at very low wages, with few benefits or protections.

IAF grantee Conselho dos ndios Trememb de Queimadas (CITQ) is working with Trememb community members to expand and diversify their agroforestry production and develop new beekeeping activities in the Trememb de Queimadas Indigenous territory.

Agroforestry and beekeeping activities will produce positive environmental and social impacts in the community while also generating more income and increasing food security.

The IAF supports community-led solutions by Indigenous groups in managing natural resources sustainably.This small grant is part of a cohort of Indigenous organizations based across Brazil that aim to support their communities and promote spaces for exchange and learning among different ethnicities facing complex challenges.
