Grant Description

ARGRUP will involve small community-based groups and unemployed workers in the collection of solid waste from streets, homes and businesses.

It will conduct a training program, purchase and install equipment, and prepare audio-visual materials to encourage recycling.

The project will directly benefit 80 men and women of Vila Corumbiara and three adjacent communities of Barreiro, an administrative district of Belo Horizonte, and will indirectly benefit 6,000 other residents. (BR-836)
