Já pensou ter que andar 4 horas para pegar água?
Essa era a realidade de estudantes da província de Mwanza, na Tanzânia. O projeto implementou uma política brasileira de construção de cisternas no país para armazenar água da chuva.

Após o treinamento, já foram construídas nove cisternas e mais de seis mil crianças foram beneficiadas! Agora, elas não precisam mais caminhar por 4 horas para obter água e têm mais tempo para acompanhar as aulas e irrigar as novas hortas escolares.

O projeto é uma parceria entre a , o e o .

Acts of coup-mongering violence in Brasilia

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses gratitude and acknowledges the numerous expressions of support and solidarity received from the international community, through the most diverse channels, in the face of the coup-mongering violence registered yesterday, 8th January 2023, at the "Esplanada dos Ministérios", in
Brasília.

The inauguration ceremony of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a celebration of democracy that was attended by more than 60 high-level international delegations, represented a recognition of the solidity of Brazilian democratic institutions. In the same sense, since yesterday, countries and international organizations have unanimously and vehemently repudiated the acts of terrorism and vandalism that shocked Brazil and the world.

The Brazilian State and its democratic institutions will once again know how to respond to the seriousness of the crimes committed. The Brazilian Government and Itamaraty will continue, with determination, to defend and act in accordance with the precepts of the 1988 Constitution, under which the country records the longest period of democratic coexistence in its republican history.

Yesterday Brazil lost one of its most cherished sons and football lost its king.

We mourn the passing of Pelé - one of the greatest athletes of the 21st century, champion of three World Cups and, above all, a football genius.

Rest in peace, Edson Arantes do Nascimento (1940-2022).
