Story

Ylê Asé de Yansã

A luta pelo direito à terra, liberdade espiritual e religiosa, e acesso à educação e saúde faz parte da história do Ylê Asé de Yansã. Neste momento, a nossa casa atual está completamente danificada pela chuva e cupins, representando um alto risco para a comunidade e projetos que não têm um novo lugar onde possam ser realocados. Procuramos angariar recursos para terminar de construir a casa agroecológica onde será o lar de nossa comunidade; e a casa de alvenaria, onde a cozinha comunitária, salas de aula e acomodações estarão situados. Esse projeto irá fomentar o nosso trabalho comunitário e dar continuidade ao acolhimento à todas as pessoas de forma segura. Em parceira com a EDFU Foundation, tornamos esta campanha num âmbito internacional, buscando a solidariedade em todos os cantos do mundo daqueles que apoiam a luta pela justiça social. Para saber mais sobre o nosso quilombo e projeto de construção, acesse: www.yleaseyansa.org

In the present moment, our quilombo headquarters suffers from structural problems, not guaranteeing safety to residents and the community. The wooden house has termites on the ceiling and walls, which is dangerous to use and we are unable to practice spirituality and education until we have new space. As a result of this condition, we started the construction of a new masonry house. At this moment, we need your help to continue with the works and guarantee the continuity of our community work, welcoming everyone with love and security.

Recently, we created an Educational project to give and promote access to young Black and poor people in the public Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. We also have a few workshops online in a live format developed by our elders. We need support to create infrastructure for communication, with stable internet connection, computers and antenna to caption phone signal. This will enable us to create spaces for a more open, transparent and easy communication with our international siblings and support the transnational anti-racist project.
