Transformation, this is the philosophy and mission of Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o. Created in 2012, the institute aims to change the face of the Sert\u00e3o: ending poverty and inequality, where hope and new beginnings are possible. Domiciled in the small town of Bet\u00e2nia do Piau\u00ed, the third city with the lowest municipal human development index in Piau\u00ed and is among the 30 most needy cities in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its missions, long or short term, are varied and relate to the cultural sector (music, dance, sports, theater) and the social sector (sustainable agriculture, distribution of drinking water, distribution of food and clothing, internet). However, one observation became clear during the emergency aid: the importance of perpetuating a lasting transformation, in order to change the hinterland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is with this in mind that Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o is committed to promoting and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among them are: poverty eradication, zero hunger and sustainable agriculture, quality education, clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth and reduction of inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These objectives were reinforced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. It was seen that the health crisis increased social inequality, and this inequality further highlighted the social precariousness of poor regions in Brazil. In order to reduce certain socio-economic disparities, Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o installed an internet signal in remote communities in the rural area of Bet\u00e2nia do Piau\u00ed, and with that, it was possible for students to follow classes at a distance. This project reached 100 people and 50 hours of classes were produced for young people and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The year 2020 was also a beautiful occasion for the region with the creation of a symphonic band and the opening of a music school. This initiative has the participation of 45 children and young people, and the symphonic band has more than 50 instruments. As a result of the pandemic, sports projects were suspended. However, following the health standards established by the government, it was possible to resume physical activities in the second half, such as the Futsert\u00e3o project, where 150 young people and children participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al\u00e9m disso, o Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o, junto com o Betalab e Bora Permacultura, criaram a Escola Beta, com a miss\u00e3o de capacitar fam\u00edlias rurais do sert\u00e3o semi-\u00e1rido na implanta\u00e7\u00e3o de uma agricultura sustent\u00e1vel e respons\u00e1vel, afim de aumentar a renda pela venda do excedente. Vale ressaltar que esse tipo de projeto \u00e9 de uma grande import\u00e2ncia, vendo que o auxilio emergencial se terminou em janeiro de 2021, e pode levar at\u00e9 3,4 milh\u00f5es para extrema pobreza. Gra\u00e7as ao projeto Escola Beta, 30 fam\u00edlias em duas comunidades foram capacitadas, e uma renda de R$ 4.162 reais foi para as fam\u00edlias produtoras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to perfect itself in the management of social organizations, Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o has a partnership with AMBEV, where it participated in a training course. The institute is the first organization in Piau\u00ed to participate in the VOA program to acquire the management and trust seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portanto, as atividades e projetos do Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o visam n\u00e3o simplesmente \u00e0 melhorar a situa\u00e7\u00e3o s\u00f3cio-econ\u00f4mica dos moradores do munic\u00edpio de Bet\u00e2nia do Piau\u00ed, essas a\u00e7\u00f5es servem \u00e0 evidenciar a emerg\u00eancia e a necessidade de investir no sert\u00e3o piauiense. As miss\u00f5es do Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o s\u00e3o uma maneira de preencher lacunas gigantescas deixadas pelo governo do Brasil nas \u00e1reas de educa\u00e7\u00e3o, sa\u00fade, seguran\u00e7a, lazer e infraestruturas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, it is important to point out that Instituto Novo Sert\u00e3o is a non-governmental organization, where its operation depends directly on donations and private funding. Therefore, the creation of partnerships, the adoption of projects by third parties, and the help of volunteers are essential to continue the changes and achievements in the backlands of Piau\u00ed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
