CARMO MISSION

Carmo HUMANITARIAN Mission

Data: Since October 2013
Place: Carmo da Cachoeira, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The mission began as a short-term one in 2013 and became permanent in 2017.The humanitarian workers at Carmo da Cachoeira – MG, provided selfless service to the local population and vicinities in a situation of social vulnerability.

It was also an axis of reception and training that formed new humanitarian workers who approached this work through the Humanitarian Bootcamp Capacity Building started in 2015. Many of those who were trained are now humanitarian workers, thus generating a contingent of around 600 collaborators. This work also contributed to the development of humanitarian response in the missions carried out the Fraternity – Humanitarian (FFHI) and by the Fraternity – Humanitarian Missions (FIHM).

Due to its social character, since 2020, the activitity has been in charge of the Hill Light House, an affiliate of the Fraternity – Humanitarian Federation (FIHF).
