Itaipu participates in the launch of the Sustainable Solidary Kitchens
"This project is extremely important, as it addresses a subject that is on the G20 agenda: the energy transition. The number of women who are injured is extremely high. The existence of the solidary economy project is crucial for the socialization of food. We will start with seven kitchens, but we intend to reach 100", stated Verri.
The first lady, Janja Lula da Silva , who proposed the initiative, was unable to attend but sent a message. The text highlighted the importance of the project. "It is unacceptable that women and girls are at risk of burns, lung diseases and exhausting work in the search for supplies, whether food or fuel. In addition, they are more vulnerable to sexual violence, since many have to walk long distances to obtain, in addition to food and water, materials such as firewood and charcoal."
More than 2.3 billion people worldwide lack access to clean energy sources. The project prioritizes kitchens run by women, especially black women. The seven units selected to receive the biodigestors were chosen considering the capacity to offer meals and the space to install the biodigestor. "Solidary kitchens have the power to transform lives, freeing women from poverty and suicide and teaching them about their value and rights. This project is not just about feeding; it is about education, solidarity and empowerment", said Andréa Elias de Sousa Alves , representative of Sol Nascente Solidary Kitchen.
