Banco da Família is the first partner in Brazil with the NGO Water.org in the Water credit project: microcredit for drinking water and sanitation, with the contribution of the Inter-American Development Bank - IDB.
It is intended to enable thousands of families residing in poor areas to access drinking water and complete sanitary facilities. The objective is to serve 8,500 families in four years, directly benefiting approximately 33,600 people.
