Potiguara Indians Information and Living Standards
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesDiscovered more than 450 years ago, the Potiguara Indians are today a population of only 1,470 people. Occupying a reservation in the Northeast of Brazil, they live in substandard conditions, with a bare subsistence solely from fishing and the production of manioc flour. The two “flour houses” are owned by outside agents who charge them 20% of the market value of the produced flour and due to lack of refrigeration 50% of the value of the fish. The average weekly family income is about US$10.00. ActivitiesThe project goal is to buy two freezers, one for each community, build two manioc flour houses and install two computer laboratories.
