Farmácia Viva Popular
This project is a community initiative seeking to gather different species of plants in a medicinal garden, which the families in the Olhos d'Água Community, in the rural area of Turmailna, used to have in their backyards and gradually lost over time. The community will thus better know the therapeutic strength of the herbs and will better explore the local Cerrado environment, improving quality of life for the families in the community.
