Care Brazil
CARE started working in Brazil in 2001 in response to the needs of a significant proportion of the population: 40 million Brazilians live in absolute poverty, out of a total population of 170 million. CARE is currently working on the renovation of a nature park in Sao Paulo. It also supports the creation of income-generating activities for local inhabitants as well landless small-scale farmers in the state of Bahia.
