ASA Brasil, Articulação no Semiárido Brasileiro, has implemented the One Land and Two Waters Program (P1+2) and the One Million Cisterns Program (P1MC) in various communities in Northern Minas Gerais, which aims to enable the capture and storage of rainwater in these communities for human consumption, animal husbandry, and food production. Among the partners for the implementation of the projects, the Diocesan Caritas of Virgem da Lapa stands out in the region.
