The Literacy Trails program seeks to contribute to the full literacy of children in public schools in the municipalities where Vale operates. The actions include training educators and technical teams from the State and Municipal Education Departments, production and distribution of complementary teaching materials and mobilization of the school community for literacy.  

In Maranhão, the initiative is carried out in partnership with 24 neighboring municipalities of the Carajás Railroad, the Intermunicipal Multimodal Consortium (CIM), the Government of the State of Maranhão, and the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV). 

In Pará, 8 municipalities where Vale operates are partners in the project (Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Canaã dos Carajás, Curionópolis, Eldorado do Carajás, Marabá, Ourilândia do Norte, Parauapebas, and Tucumã), which has investments from Wheaton Precious Metals and BNDES through the Socio-Environmental Fund 

In Rio de Janeiro, the project takes place in partnership with the city councils of Itaguaí and Mangaratiba and is implemented by the partner Comunidade Educativa (Cedac).
