STATUS: Project in progress. After several site visits and a slow
start, the Comunidade Forca de Vontade (Community Will Power NGO)
has improved the management of its project. To date, the project
consists of a twenty hectare community plot including five hectares
of an already developed community garden. During the rainy season
the organization produced beans, cassava, peanuts and corn. For the
dry season, which runs from May 15 to August 31, the community will
expand the amount of cultivated hectares and implement an irrigation
system to grow vegetables such as cabbage, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Due to the group's unique background, Swiss journalists from the
Hirondelle Foundation are working on a documentary about this
community of people who used to live in the city garbage dump and
its efforts to fight poverty. The project coordinator was invited
to lecture in Switzerland at the International Relations Institute
and University of Development Studies.
