Created in 2015, the Instituto Água Viva is a non-profit social organization that operates in the Sertão do Nordeste, especially in the states of Bahia, Piauí and Pernambuco. The Sertão, in the semi-arid region, was chosen because it is an area of extreme poverty and social vulnerability, where almost no government project is inserted, and the HDI indexes are among the worst in the country: an average of 0.550 and with income per capita below ½ minimum wage.
We chose to transform and impact the geography of a region with little support in Brazil and to be a bridge for other institutions in the struggle for the resignification and valorization of the backcountry.
We are a family owned and operated business.
We are based on four pillars:

With these projects, we serve more than 2,000 children in an aggravating social risk situation, surrounded by physical and sexual abuse, with no educational perspective, and we provide school reinforcement with ballet, music, computer and literacy classes. The adults participate in income generation projects, such as caps, shirts and slippers factories, guitar factory, hydroponics, fish farming, fruit plantation. In all, more than 10,000 people are directly and indirectly involved in the projects.

The situation in the Sertão is critical. The sertanejos live the worst water crisis in the last 30 years. The water consumed in most communities is that of rain. In many cities and towns, families are below the poverty line. No water, no work, no food. 10-year-old children are already mothers, many 'sell' themselves for food and clothing. Sexual abuse is part of an infamous 'culture'.
The challenges are enormous. And we want to be hope in the midst of hopelessness.
We need and count on you! Join us !
