TETO Brasil
Civil Society Organization / Non-Governmental Organizations
Title : Innovation in Habitat and Habitability
Description :
Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, TETO Brazil as many others had to revise its focuses, working methodology and updated our projects. And, side by side with the communities, we committed to building much more than emergency housing. After a diagnostic done with community leaders, across the six states we operate in Brazil, we mapped out the most urgent and critical issues that vulnerable communities were facing. Three things were the most evident: lack of income and thus high-risk food security issues, sanitary conditions due to the lack of formal water and sanitation facilities and systems or extreme pressure on the existing fragile and informal structures which in turn put communities further at risk of contracting and spreading the virus. And lastly, the leadership challenges that many community leaders are and were facing with both being at risk and wanting to organize, support and be present to other at risk people in their communities. For this reason, we at TETO Brasil have reviewed the way we work and together, volunteers and community, we are going to set up toilets, washbasins, water collection centers, community gardens, community food halls and community headquarters that can be used as first-aid posts or spaces for the isolation of vulnerable populations. In order to finance these projects we also created an emergency fund that receives funds from the private sector but has already received donations from over 8300 people. Alongside these projects we are also implementing a new and sustainable roof to our emergency housing and other projects that might need to. The shingles are made of recycled juice boxes, this not only reduces our costs but also our impact on the environment.
Solution Area : Well-being
Target group : We work with people who live in informal settlements, our organization focuses on the communities living in high risk and vulnerable situations this usually means women and children.
Where : six states in Brazil: SP, RJ, PR, PE, MG, and BA
