The 'INCOME GENERATION SKILLS FOR BATTERED MOTHERS' initiative was the proud recipient in the past year of the prestigious award: “Prêmio Banco Mundial de Cidadania” for the state of Ceara, Brazil (the World Bank Award for Citizenship). This award was for social innovation in a non-profit organization led by women and that promotes equality of the sexes, sustainable development and social participation. They also received support from Brazil's Social Development Ministry to implement a community kitchen and a food bank for the people from this extremely impoverished community.

The circus school has also begun mounting a new circus show for the theirs and other communities for the next semester. Juriti also received from the Social Development Ministry support to implement a community kitchen and a food bank.
