Direct Support for Families Affected by the Brava Market Fire

Following the fundraiser promoted by Brava emigrants in the USA, we would like to inform you that 50% of the amount collected, corresponding to 323,440$00, was given directly to the people affected by the fire at the Brava Municipal Market. Each of the families received 24,880$00 as immediate solidarity support to cover the losses suffered.

This solidarity action was driven by our diaspora in the United States, through an initiative led by José Lobo, affectionately known as Djo Lobo, who mobilized the Bravense community across borders in an exemplary gesture of unity, generosity and commitment to the island.
The other 50% of the funds raised will go towards the reconstruction of the Brava Municipal Market, an intervention that will also have the support of the Cape Verdean government and whose implementation will begin shortly. This partnership reinforces the joint commitment to the recovery and revitalization of this fundamental space for the local economy.
The Municipality of Brava thanks, with deep gratitude, all those involved in this initiative, recognizing the essential role of our diaspora as an active partner in the sustainable development of the island.
