Solidarity in times of drought

Ruby and her well: an example of generosity

Amidst these challenges, Ruby's story shines as a beacon of hope and solidarity. Ruby, a craftswoman and farmer of Santa Catarina Minas, owns one of the few water wells in the region. Instead of keeping this vital resource solely for her family, Ruby has chosen to share it with her neighbors, demonstrating that in times of need, community strengthens through generosity.

Every day, Ruby opens her home to those in need of water. With an altruistic spirit, she fills buckets and containers, ensuring that no one in her community goes without this essential liquid. This act, carried out with love and steadfastness, has woven even stronger bonds among the residents of Santa Catarina Minas.
