On September 26, 60 children from the Praia de Redonda community participated in a boat trip to Ponta Grossa Beach, in Icapuí (CE), a municipality surrounding the Aliança Energia project. The activity was carried out by the Quem Ama Cuida project, which serves children in the community with sports activities such as soccer, cycling, swimming and free running. The initiative has the support of the company, the Municipal Council for the Defense of the Rights of Children and Adolescents through the allocation of resources to the Fund for Childhood and Adolescence of Icapuí (FIA).
Accompanied by family members and instructors, the children dived and observed different species of fish. The activity also allowed them to learn about the marine life of the region and talk about the preservation of natural resources.
The project aims to offer children opportunities for coexistence, sports practice and development through activities that encourage participation and learning. In addition to classes, the program includes actions that provide new experiences and contact with different spaces in the community.
The activity is also in line with the so-called Environmental ECA, which reinforces the right of children and adolescents to contact with nature and a healthy environment, with absolute priority. By providing this contact, the project contributes to children getting to know the environment in which they live and discussing ways to preserve it.
For Maria Cecilia, project coordinator, the support received has been important to make the activities viable.
“The support of Aliança Energia, through the Childhood and Adolescence Fund, has made all this possible and the impacts on the formation of this group that actively participates are very valuable. Not only for the present, but also for the future. Thank you!”
The initiative is related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 – Quality Education and SDG 14 – Life in Water.
Aliança Energia believes that supporting projects aimed at children and adolescents is investing in the people and communities where it operates. This commitment is part of the company’s way of operating in the territories, considering that local development also involves creating opportunities for new generations.
