The construction (about the 60%of the total project)of the physical structure of the main quarter is now done. Unfortunately it hadn't been possible to equip all the rooms with productive activities, that's why our next objective is to find partners or sponsors to enable the installation of the kitchen equipment necessary to open a snack bar in one of the “Associaçao da Mulheres Rendeiras”rooms, built especially for this use. Besides serving as a resource for commercializing cookery products from the North East of the country, being part of this production will also contribute to fortify the cultural identity and the social inclusion of its local members . Typical cookery, will therefore become a powerful tool able to complement, innovate and sustain the activities already developed by this non profit non Governmental Association.
Started in1990 from a few local women, it is today a major reference point in the community, especially for single mothers and teenagers, two of the most affected categories. The Association’s goals are to discuss human rights, racial equality, gender and to develop resources to improve quality of life, besides creating educational opportunities for women and their children.
Currently there are 35 associates.
Some already developed activities include:
. courses in needlework, embroidery, cookery and art crafts;
. discussions about human rights, women empowerment, gender equality and cultural identity.
