Are any actions specially directed at the Juruti Velho region?
Yes. Juruti Velho, which has a lot of communities falling within the direct area of influence of the mine, is receiving special attention from Alcoa. Vila Muirapinima, a large center in the Juruti Velho region, was one of the first to benefit from actions by Alcoa. There, the Company helped by building the Mixed Health Unit that guarantees that the community has the services of a doctor available to it. In addition, various actions are planned for several communities in this region that are related to encouraging family agriculture, non-wood forest management and revitalization of their public heritage. A family rural center will be built in Vila Muirapinima and an access road to the Pompom community, which will considerably improve distribution of the region’s agricultural produce.
