The new Xixuaú primary school is ready to welcome the upcoming school year, which is about to begin in Brazil.
Twice the size of the previous building, the Teodorico Nascimento School, named after the founder of the village, was designed to meet the needs of a growing community. The school includes two classrooms—one for preschool children and one for students from first to fifth grade—a library, a spacious kitchen with a dining area, restrooms, storage rooms, and access to filtered water, making it a true point of reference for children and families.
Fully powered by solar energy, the school was built through the collective efforts of the community and the operational work of CoopXixuaú, in collaboration with ICMBio, the Municipality of Rorainópolis, and our partner Amazon Charitable Trust.
This is a concrete step toward strengthening education in Jauaperi Reserve, supporting families in remaining in their territory, valuing traditional ways of life, and protecting the forest.
