Solidarity Revolving Funds (FRS) are an intelligent and creative form of collective savings, created to meet the specific needs of their members through consensual rules. They mobilize, organize and lend resources for collective projects, such as solidarity economic enterprises, social mobilizations and training activities. The rotating nature ensures that the resources return to the community, circulating in a sustainable way based on solidarity and reciprocity, promoting fair prices and valuing the work of indigenous people.
The Revolving Indigenous Solidarity Fund, part of the Man Gap Project of the Zoro Pangyjej Indigenous Peoples Association (APIZ), is part of the Family Farming and Traditional Peoples subprogram of the REM-MT Program. Structured by Sitawi Finanças do Bem, it is essential to strengthen the Amazon nut production chain in the region. With an initial contribution from the REM-MT Program, the fund will enable the first cycle of loans, boosting the financial autonomy and sustainability of community organizations, especially in activities related to Brazil nut production.
