Cristina's work is aimed at generating income and assistance support for dozens of rip rap women in Reden\u00e7\u00e3o, in the west zone of Manaus. She provides her neighbors with training in cutting and sewing and creating objects made from recyclable materials.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The materials are donated by surrounding residents in containers specially created for this purpose, as part of environmental education work that was built in partnership with other activists and organizations, such as Grupo TransformaA\u00e7\u00e3o and Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Amaz\u00f4nia Sustent\u00e1vel. In this important work, residents are advised not to throw garbage in the Igarap\u00e9 do Gigante, on which the Reden\u00e7\u00e3o rip rap shacks were built.<\/p>\n

Due to the enormous environmental and visual impact of the work she develops there, Cristina has already obtained support from several important institutions<\/strong>, in addition to the aforementioned Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Amazonas Sustent\u00e1vel, such as the Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Rede Amaz\u00f4nica, Manaus City Hall and even from our Manauara Community Association, through our 2023 notice. However, with all the support and without an institutional or management structure for the resources she receives, Cristina had difficulties in being accountable and achieving the goals agreed with her partners. We ourselves had to interrupt the transfers of the 2023 Manauara notice due to these problems.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

It was from this difficult experience with Cristina that we conceived the Icamiabas Fund and our current work dynamics.Like other community leaders from the poorest areas of Manaus, Cristina has no focus or training in management activities. That's where we plan to support her with our strategic philanthropy work over two years, providing financial resources from the Icamiabas Fund, as well as personal, organizational and networking coaching.<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0cutting and sewing with recycled materials is the main<\/b>\u00a0activity\u00a0<\/b>that Cristina develops<\/b>, both for her subsistence and to help the women she serves to have a more dignified way of life. Based on the classes she teaches, these women continue producing textile items in their homes. The collective's sales take place at fairs in which they participate in various parts of Manaus.<\/p>\n

The space where she develops her work,the headquarters of the Reusa Project, which is led by Cristina, was acquired and renovated with the support of the various entities mentioned above. Eight sewing machines were purchased with resources from the 2023 notice from the Manauara Community Association. Cristina prefers not to institutionalize the Reusa project, keeping it as an open movement. Inspired by this and by the dynamics of the fellows of the traditional international non-profit institution Ashoka, we developed the concept of the Icamiabas Fund and support for the physical person of social entrepreneurs, and not for an NGO.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

As a beneficiary of the Icamiabas Fund, Cristina received a Swile debit card, which is recharged monthly with small amounts that we transfer through the co-creation of a work plan for the following 30 days. At the end of the month, she reports to us on what she has done, sends a printout of the card statement and coordinates with us the activities for the following month. In this way, little by little, we will guide its work and provide resources in a timely manner, so that it can fully develop its potential. Over a period of two years, the strategic philanthropy we practice seeks to encourage the flourishing of each Icamiaba as a social entrepreneur on a sustainable basis.<\/em><\/p>\n
