Canal of Life
Project recovers degraded areas in Olinda
A small tributary to the Beberibe River was
known in the city of Olinda by the unfortunate name of ‘Malaria Canal’. To
change this situation, the local City Hall and the community joined their
efforts in the Project for the Restoration of the Malaria Canal. Together, they
recovered degraded areas, paved streets, built new and decent houses, along
with a drainage system to avoid flooding. At the same time, they implemented a
social-assistance office for the families impacted by the works, and started a
project for the generation of employment and income.
