The Itupeva district, 25 km (15 miles) from the center of Pirassununga, is a rural area where many socially vulnerable families live. It is one of the places in which the\u00a0Pirassununga Light-Network<\/a>, affiliated with the\u00a0Fraternity –\u00a0 International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF)<\/a>, provides assistance in countless ways.<\/p>\n

The neighborhood is deprived of basic services, such as a health center and school. The distance and the lack of transportation also complicate everyone’s daily life. A few people who can move around work in construction, but the vast majority work in sugar cane and orange harvesting.<\/p>\n

The donation of food baskets is routine on a monthly basis; when needed, the Light-Network<\/a>\u00a0group also provides clothing, shoes, and blankets, and even supplies hoses and water pumps to supply water to vegetable gardens and crops.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
