Support for Primary Health Care

Health Cycle

The program contributes directly to strengthening the Primary Health Care Network of 15 municipalities in Minas Gerais through technical cooperation between sectors, aligned with the national public policy.

Understand what we do

Crew

We provide instruments and furniture to improve diagnosis and clinical practice.

Health Care Promotion and Education

We qualified multipliers and health professionals who work in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams on topics of care, prevention and health promotion.

Support for Primary Health Care Management

We reinforce the capacity of local management, as well as support for computerization and integrated information management to support, control and organize the services provided by the UBS´s.

Health Care Unit

Among the proposed improvements are urban infrastructure works and public facilities, which are defined based on actively listening to the voice of the communities and in partnership with the government. To date, two regions, Brumadinho and Mário Campos, are benefiting from the construction of Health Care Units.

Psychosocial support

Family Reference Program

Since 2019, the program has offered psychosocial support and active care to families in all municipalities affected by the dam collapse or involuntary removals.

Members of the family nucleus are monitored through a professional called Family Reference, until they have reached a degree of autonomy that allows them to follow their routine independently.

Art therapy

Semeando Esperança [Sowing Hope]

Conducted since 2019, the project has already contributed to over 70 women redefine their pain of loss and grief through art therapy. Through the technique of free hand embroidery, they tell their life stories, their experiences and their relationship with the territory where they live in workshops held online, during the pandemic. They have produced a total of over 500 pieces.

Between October and December 2021, Inhotim, in Brumadinho, received the “Histórias do Vivido – Sementes da Esperança” [Stories of Life - Seeds of Hope] exposition with the work of the students, including Geralda de Fátima Ribeiro Pereira.

Full Assistance

PAIA program

In addition to the financial reparation of those affected, we are committed to full reparation. To date, over 13 thousand people have signed an indemnity agreement with Vale, between civil and labour. And to enable them to plan their future under the new economic and socioenvironmental conditions, the indemnified people have access to the Full Assistance Program for Affected People.

Over 4,000 people have already been served by the program, which is voluntary, free and available to everyone who is entitled to financial compensation.

Active community participation

Strengthening Social Participation

Exercising citizenship, in a democratic manner, is capable of making society more integrated, prosperous and developed. It is with this belief that the Strengthening Social Participation project has given community leaders in 10 municipalities qualification and training on topics such as ethics, politics and citizenship, notions of public management, among others.

The objective is to contribute to the exercise of consciousness and the practice of rights and obligations of citizens and public authority in the community.

Knowledge Tracks

Sport and Leisure Tracks

Held in partnership with Sesi-MG, the initiative has contributed to training professionals linked to the public network or social organizations in the areas of education, social assistance and sports, since 2021.

With support from the city government, the Knowledge, Sports and Leisure Tracks project promotes content and methodologies that recognize and stimulate the practice of physical exercise as a right, with an emphasis on promoting values and human development.

Creative Learning Tracks

The Creative Learning Knowledge Tracks began along with the 2022 school year, with an unprecedented proposal for five schools in Minas Gerais. The methodology was developed by Faber-Castell to stimulate innovation and problem solving, with a playful and creative environment in the classroom

For the pedagogical teams of the schools to act as facilitators of the process, they will receive training and monitoring for three years, in addition to involvement of the students' families. 

Tribute to victims

Memorial

Construction of the Memorial, in honour of the victims of the dam collapse, is in progress, scheduled for completion in December 2022.

The project, conceived by Avabrum - Associação dos Familiares de Vítimas e Atingidos do Rompimento da Barragem Mina Córrego do Feijão Brumadinho [Association of Families of Victims and People Affected by the Collapse of the Córrego do Feijão Brumadinho Mine dam], is developed in the community of Córrego do Feijão, in a place chosen by the family members represented by the association.

The Memorial will occupy an area of 5.5 hectares and will have three thematic spaces (Pavilion, Memory Space and Witness Space), connected by a slit. At the end of the split, there will be a viewpoint overlooking the area of the collapse.
