Transparency in the application of resources

Transparency in the application of resources

Friends, we want to be transparent, so we are committed to publishing the application of resources received on the site. The resources will be organized as follows: 60% is destined for direct work with our base and 40%. The resources received will be used for the following purposes:

  1. Transformation of society through changes in social structures and unfair systems that oppress people and reduce the possibilities of development of communities, especially small farmers;
  2. To help in the maintenance of the MTC with administrative cost, however all the action of the network friends itself is executed in a voluntary way;
  3. To pay for legal services, since the MTC's positions and denunciations of social injustice processes often require recourse to the judiciary.
