To the men on duty, I’m sorry to inform you, but the priority is for women in situations of economic and social vulnerability. The age range should be between 18 and 45 years, and they must have completed at least 5th grade of elementary school. The project is carried out by the Instituto Maria Imaculada, with sponsorship from Petrobras.

The Project Trained 1,200 Women Working as Electricians, Masons, Carpenters, and Painters – Women in Civil Construction

Finally, the Mão na Massa Project was conceived by civil engineer Deise Gravina, who has always enjoyed getting involved in social projects to help disadvantaged communities. Deise realized that Civil Construction could be a path to professionalize not only men but women as well, believing that both men and women have equal rights.
