Helping the Favelas - Slums


With this first post I would like to share a few websites of organisations that have/are developing projects in slums in Brazil.
If you are interested in helping people from slums in Brazil, you might be able to give a very good first step just by visiting and getting more information from the following websites:
Community in Action - http://cia.communityinaction.org/
Observatório de Favelas "Observatory of Favelas" - http://www.observatoriodefavelas.org.br/observatoriodefavelas/en/home/index.php
Favela é isso aí "That is Favela" - http://www.favelaeissoai.com.br/hotsite/en/contact.php
Iko Poran - http://ikoporan.org/en
Rio Voluntário - http://www.riovoluntario.org.br/ (Portuguese only)
Viva Favela - http://inclusao.ibict.br/index.php/biblioteca-de-id?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=9&sobi2Id=42
Again, donation is just one of the many ways you can help! Volunteering is always a possibility and most of the organisations will be happy if you can spare some of your time to help.
