Fazenda School

Founded in 1990, the Joao Francisco Pereira School is in the district of Barreira (Barrocas), 4.2 km from Equinox Gold's Fazenda Mine. The school serves a community of 143 families and currently has 166 students.

While the school receives funds from the municipal and federal government, private donations are used to improve the school's infrastructure and provide a higher quality of education for its students. The school's current wish list includes: adaptation of the physical structure for accessibility; renovation and coverage of the sports court; construction of a library and purchase of books; construction of a computer room; and construction of a toy library.

If you'd like to donate to Joao Francisco Pereira School, please email ride2greenstone@equinoxgold.com for details.

Thank you for your support!
