| Eco-Charcoal Income-Producing Project |
 |
(for fast broadband Internet connections)
CRS, through the Center for the Defense of
Human Life and Rights (CDVDH) in Açailandia,
Brazil, helps develop income-generating
projects for long-term economic progress. In
this project, a remarkable man has developed
the patent to produce charcoal from easily
obtainable waste products. We were there a
few days after the new equipment arrived.
This project has the potential to employ, at
the beginning, several dozen workers who were
ex-slaves. The man who developed the process
over five years is ceding the rights to the
group in common.
