Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Gleba H Association of Residents serves a community formed by 865 homes, inhabited by 5000 residents, in the Gleba H neighborhood of Camaçari in the state of Bahia. Over the last 15 years, the association has witnessed a chaotic growth of the neighbourhood population, accompanied by a burst in delinquency, violence, drugs, hunger and misery. Gleba H has nevertheless been neglected by public policies and it is therefore the aim of this association to conduct imperative social programming.

Activities

To buy sewing machines to start a Sewing Course and Workshop for income production; to build a 24h service health centre; to collect enough food to distribute among the unemployed; to better the public sewage and cleaning service; to fight drug abuse

Expected Outcomes

The association will contribute for the economic development of Gleba H and the social and professional integration of its 5000 residents, in order to build a self-sustained united community, in terms of healthcare, education and income production.

Project Message

Never an association has been in such public high regard as Gleba H, and it owns it simply to its continuous hard work, devoted to the social well-being of the extremely needy community it represents
