health expedition - April 18 to 25
Make a difference in the lives of residents of the Barro Branco community in Pernambuco through our health expedition that will provide qualified medical care and educational activities focused on well-being!
Nestled in the backlands of Pernambuco and in the rural area of the municipality of Ibimirim, there is a very special community where our expedition will take place. Barro Branco is located 350 km from Recife and is home to 100 families.
The 300 residents of Barro Branco live in the reality of one of the lowest HDIs in Brazil and have serious health problems due to drinking brackish water, lack of access to medical facilities and suffering from a shortage of food and sources of income. A harsh reality in which the lack of public investment in health, education and employment generates unimaginable problems. And it is precisely in this scenario that Karibu will operate, providing medical care and educational activities.
The health expedition is a partnership with the Recife-based organization Afetos, which has supported the community for years, and with the community leaders of Barro Branco who greatly appreciate the work carried out.
