Officially, the Land Foundation came into legal existence (born) on September 8, 1984, in a community known as "Street Trash" and that is in the vicinity of the newly disabled solid waste disposal - "Dump" - the city of Arcoverde in semi-arid region of Pernambuco State, 256 km distant from the capital - Recife.

Historically, successive Governments Municipal always summed up the issue of garbage produced in the city, this was a domestic, industrial or hospital to take him to a place, preferably away from the urban perimeter, there to lay it open-air without any concern of environmental or social.

The Land Foundation was born in this community, to rescue, literally, garbage men, women and children, identified by Fr Airton Freire de Lima, as the epitome of the misery of the city of Arcoverde. People thrown their lot, if "feeding" of food scraps found in garbage and obtained alms on the streets, "living" in shacks of cardboard, tin or mud, no water, toilets, electricity, paved street, school, health medical, ... Finally, the margin values and the progress of society and the Christian West. The Land Foundation was founded to serve the poor, in the strict sense (everyday) and in the broad sense (systemic).

PROGRAMS

Programs developed in the Land Foundation seeks the development of individuals. In this sense, we will seek, wherever possible (within our financial possibilities), integrating families with a network of programs that includes, in addition to support families in their basic needs - housing and food, the question for Health and Education.
Education of children and young adults, Health and Housing, are the three main objectives pursued by the Land Foundation for poor people of the Commonwealth of Street Trash outweighs the state of chronic poverty in which they live. Thus, in the area of education, beyond the formal school, we promote training courses, workshops for learning - martial arts, performing arts, soccer school, etc.. and further education - music, computer science, English, German.
