TLDR: A large national brazilian NGO (called CUFA) will organize a christmas evento to help 2,000 families from brazilian shantytowns called Favelas. We plan on providing food (chicken and panettone bread) for 50 of those families for their christmas dinner. The cost should be about $12 per family.
Favelas are informal settlements or shantytowns in Brazil. They are typically located on the outskirts of cities and are often associated with poverty, crime, and a lack of basic services such as sewage and electricity. Many favelas are overcrowded and lack proper infrastructure, making them vulnerable to natural disasters such as landslides and floods. There are about thirteen thousand favelas in Brazil in 2022.
CUFA is the acronym for Central Única das Favelas, which translates to “Unique Center of the Favelas” in English. CUFA is a Brazilian organization that aims to empower and improve the lives of people living in favelas. The organization was founded in 1994 and has grown to include over 1,500 favela-based organizations across Brazil. CUFA works to promote the rights of favela residents, provide access to education and healthcare, and combat violence and discrimination. The organization also advocates for the inclusion of favela communities in decision-making processes and for the implementation of public policies that benefit favela residents.
CUFA PE, a state branch of CUFA in the state of Pernambuco, a state with about 9 million residents, is planning a Christmas campaign for the favela communities. Until December 20, CUFA PE will collect donations of food, toys, and clothes. The goal is to help 2,000 families. On December 23, CUFA PE will hold a Christmas action where they will distribute food and toys to families in need. The campaign will distribute everything that is collected in December. This event is important for the communities because it will provide much-needed assistance to families affected by the consequences of the pandemic and the economic recession.
We plan on providing food for 50 families during the CUFA PE event. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important cause and hope that our efforts will make a positive impact in the lives of the families we are able to help.
Your vote will make a difference for these 50 families. If you didn’t watch the video at the beginning of the test, please take 5 minutes to watch it now:
