The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) and the ministries of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) and Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger (MDS) announced BR$150 million (US$ 29 million) for access to water and productive inclusion for low-income families in Brazil.

Funding will be allocated through the "Sanear Amazônia – Drinking Water for Amazon Communities" initiative, which will receive BR$150 million (US$ 29 million) from the Amazon Fund, managed by the Bank in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA). This initiative is part of the Bank's revised strategy for the Amazon Fund, aimed at ensuring the scale and effectiveness of actions that commence with providing access to water and supporting sustainable family farming. The resources from the Fund will be utilized to implement social technologies for access to clean water for drinking, food production, and social and economic inclusion in the Amazon region. Initially, the initiative will benefit 16 municipalities across Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Pará, and Rondônia. In this initial phase, assistance will be extended to 4,626 low-income rural families, with 68% of them residing in Ilha do Marajó (PA), specifically in the municipalities of Soure, Breves, Curralinho, and São Sebastião.
