PROJECT "WATER FOR ALL" SCHOOL BEATRIZ LOUREIRO LOPES
The lack of water is the main obstacle for the people of the Northeastern backlands. Drought, besides being a climatic problem, is a situation that generates social difficulties for the people who inhabit the region. Drought causes lack of economic resources, generating hunger and misery. Often, people have to walk for hours, under sun and strong heat, to get water and often dirty, contaminated water. With poor food and water consumption of poor quality, the inhabitants of the Northeastern backlands end up suffering from many diseases.
Education also ends up committing itself, due to lack of water. Problems that lack water at school can range from school drop-out, poor hygiene to water-borne infections.
The Water for All Project aims to minimize the problem of the lack of water in the State School of Primary and Secondary Education Beatriz Loureiro Lopes of the city of Piancó, Sertão Paraibano, with the drilling of an artesian well. The water of an artesian well also has a positive characteristic, which is that it is crystalline with the possibility of being free of any contamination due to the depth. On the other hand, the construction of the well is a high investment and a certain risk, since in some of the wells dug no water is found.
The cost of drilling an artesian well is high, however, bringing long-term compensation as the locality will have its own source of water available.
The present project was co-ordinated by stylist Amir Slama and the models that paraded the summer 2017 by designer Amir Slama at SPFWN41, who donated their caches to Love Together with a return to the project WATER FOR ALL.

RESULT WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED FOR THE COMMUNITY
In the State School of Primary and Secondary Education Beatriz Loureiro Lopes were drilled two artesian wells. The first artesian well was drilled in front of the school, but no water flow was found. The second artesian well was drilled inside the school which had water flow. The drilling of the artesian well was of extreme importance, enabling every school to access water. The school will be able to develop a vegetable garden and produce its own food for the lunches of its students improving food, hygiene of the school environment and the personal hygiene of students, teachers and school staff.
