| Title: | Brazil - Rural Sustainable Development Project in the Semi-arid Region of Bahia (Pro-Semiárido) April 2016 |
| Description: |
Lenilda Maria de Jesus, 55, holds a ceramic water jug she made in her shop, in Aldeia Mirandela, near Ribeira do Pombal, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, on Wednesday, April 13, 2016. She earns maybe 150 reals every three months from selling her pottery at her shop and at artisenal fairs in the region. They wear their native garb made out of grass in honor of Día do Índio, or Indigenous Day, celebrated on April 19. After years of fighting for their rights, the Kiriri indigenous people took back their land in 1995. This was a very important milestone in their long-term struggle for keeping themselves together as a people with a different cultural identity, with their own ancestral knowledge and traditions. The IFAD-funded Rural Sustainable Development Project in the Semi-arid Region of Bahia (Pro-Semiárido) has been working together with the Kiriri people to allow them to use their traditional knowledge and traditions as a foundation upon which to build their livelihoods. |
