Our journey in the Sertão began nine years ago with small emergency initiatives to support families affected by the drought. We quickly realized that long-term initiatives organized in partnership with local communities can have a real impact on the lives of the Sertão people. This vision led to the birth of the Instituto Novo Sertão, in the heart of the semi-arid Northeast region, with the mission of strengthening the quality of life of Sertão communities by valuing their talents and the opportunities offered by the region. We operate across four pillars: Education, Sports, Culture, and Income Generation, serving approximately 300 people weekly, generating transformation and new opportunities for the people of Sertão.
