Kijemy ūpú Mãguty (Food House) is an Indigenous community-led project that addresses the need for a traditional Indigenous kitchen so that the community can receive visitors and carry out important cultural rituals for the Pataxó. They will also build a dry bathroom to support tourism in the village. The village is home to approximately 11 families and 35 residents that will benefit from the kitchen daily. The outdoor kitchen will be integral to maintaining culture, the communities financial stability through tourism, and supporting children in living the traditional way of life. This project is in partnership with BWB Brazil.
