Qair Brazil donates around 255 tons of food suply to socially vulnerable families
Qair Brazil has been making several donations throughout 2020 and 2021 as a way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Aware that the effects caused by the pandemic go beyond the health situation, we prepared a solidarity plan that aimed to serve not only front-line professionals, but also families in situations of social vulnerability, making donations of masks, both for hospital use and for personal use. household goods, as well as basic food suplies and hygiene materials.
For health institutions in the states of Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, in all, more than 155 thousand masks, helmets and materials for hospital use, such as disinfection suits and aprons, were donated.
For needy families, the number of food suplies donated exceeded the mark of 9 thousand units, equivalent to 255 tons of food. These donations intensified in the last months of March and April, due to the worsening of Covid-19 cases and the need for new strict social isolation measures, which directly affect the country’s economic and social scenario. With this, donations have become indispensable in Qair’s view, since many families have lost or are having their budgets drastically reduced due to the low employability of the moment.
In all, more than 9,000 families from Trairi, Cascavel, Afonso Bezerra and Macau, municipalities in Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, respectively, received food. We even delivered 500 more basic baskets to the Municipality of Cascavel, the municipality where its photovoltaic project is installed in partnership with Solier. The delivery took place at the Varandas Beach Hotel, located on Águas Belas beach, in Cascavel.
Families in the Trairi region who live around the projects received more than 700 basic food suplies baskets. And the residents of Afonso Bezerra, also located in the areas of direct and indirect impact of the wind farm, received more than 280 food suplies baskets.
Other municipalities, outside the route of Qair’s projects, are also receiving donations. For example, communities registered in the Viva Cumbuco Project, organized by Winds For Future, a movement in support of coastal families in Cumbuco, who maintained their livelihood through tourism and had their income brutally affected by the pandemic.
It’s small acts that make a difference in people’s lives.
