Solidarity that saves and transforms immediately
The Fund
The fund aims to mobilize resources and provide immediate support to victims of disasters (fire, floods, drought, tornadoes), ensuring a rapid, supportive and effective response from day one.
Its work is primarily in Brazil, with a keen eye on national biomes such as the Amazon and Pantanal, and on indigenous populations. In addition, the fund also undertakes specific actions internationally, expanding its impact in emergency situations outside the country.
