PROJECT
"HELP THE GAÚCHA CLIMBING COMMUNITY!"
Find out more about this project I created to help climbers in Rio Grande do Sul who suffered from floods and storms in 2024!
As many know, our state is going through a huge tragedy with countless places taken over by water, several that suffered major damage from storms and others we are trying to find out about the situation!
As a member of the climbing community since I was born, my goal is to help everyone else who is also in it as much as possible!!
The amounts collected will be used for:
-
Help climbing gyms that suffered damage from floods and heavy rain;
-
Help climbers who have lost their homes and possessions;
-
Help local rock climbers to reestablish the practice of climbing;
-
In addition to other situations that may occur within the community.
Another form of help received was through the raffle organized together with Crux Agarras, in which all the money raised went to the Project!

Below are listed the actions carried out in the project and at the end of the page is the accountability.
ACTIONS CARRIED OUT WITH MATERIAL DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERING:
Esporte Kura - Gym
Kura is a climbing gym located in Canoas/RS. Many of the people who frequent the space lived in the Mathias Velho neighborhood, heavily affected by the flood, and unfortunately lost everything. I gathered donations and together with a group of climbers we took 10 mattresses, 20 blankets, 20 "cestas básicas" - similar to food stamps, clothes, climbing shoes and bags of magnesium.

Muro - Training Center
Muro is a climbing gym located in Porto Alegre/RS in the São Geraldo neighborhood. Strongly affected by the floods, the water (with mud) was more than 1 meter high throughout the gym. Many items were lost and a lot of work is being needed to clean up and rebuild the site.
Cleaning products such as bleach, disinfectant, detergent, sponges and alcohol gel were donated to Ascendendo Mentes Institute.
