The Size of the Challenge
Favelas & Economic Impact
In Brazil, a poor individual is defined as someone living on up to $6,85 per day. This accounts for 49 million people.
It is estimated that a family takes 3 to 4 generations to break the cycle of extreme poverty.
Extreme poverty, on the other hand, affects 7.4 million Brazilians who live on less than $2,15/day.
The favelas generate revenues of 202 billion per year, an income greater than 20 of the 27 federal states.
16 million people living in favelas, 8% of the total population.
If the favelas were considered a Brazilian state, they would have the 5th largest population in the country.
There are 13 thousand favelas in Brazil. From 2010 to 2022, the number of favelas more than doubled.
89% are located in metropolitan regions of big cities.
SGDS ALIGNED WITH OUR PROJECTS
These SDGs have shaped the development of methods, tools, and technologies that bring us closer to the goal of turning poverty into a relic of the past-long before Mars is colonized, reshaping the lives of people in favelas across Brazil.
