The R$50,000.00 donation is destined to those who lived in the area, and that of R$15,000.00 is for those who carried out rural or commercial activities in the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS)

Next Monday, 11/2/2019, begins the registration period for the donation - humanitarian financial aid - to those affected by the breach of Dam 1, in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Vale is donating R$50,000.00 to those who lived in the area, and R$15,000.00 to those who carried out rural or commercial activities in the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS) of the Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM).

The registration will be held at the Knowledge Center, on weekdays, from 9:00 to 18:00. Mini-vans will be available to take the applicants to the Knowledge Center.

It is important to highlight that this financial support is a donation. It is not compensation, which will be agreed between parties together with the authorities. The donation is cumulative if the person fits more than one defined category: residence, productive rural activity or commercial establishment.
