"Rebuild to Share"

Rehabilitate a degraded space to create the "Barafunda Community Courtyard," promoting self-determined active aging, cohesion, and participation. Integrate intergenerationality, health, education, and digital inclusion, with local impact.

“Rebuilding to Share” positions itself as a hybrid financing mechanism (community + institutional), geared towards local-based territorial regeneration. Identified structural problem:

• Physical degradation of infrastructure with community potential.
• Significant demographic aging (55+)
• Lack of integrated responses in aging and preventive health, social participation

Proposed solution:
Creation of the “Barafunda Community Courtyard” — an open, intergenerational, and multifunctional space that connects:

• Non-formal education
• Preventive health and well-being
• Environmental sustainability
• Digital inclusion
• small-scale local economy

Value proposition

• Transforming ruins into community assets
• Strengthening local resilience (social + economic + environmental)
• Activating existing social capital (knowledge, time, experience)

Target segments

• Local population (small and medium contributions)
• Local business (social responsibility)
• Foundations and public programs
• Benefactors with ties to the territory

Key message: "Investing in this space is investing in a healthier, more autonomous and cohesive community."
