Description
What We Do
Gang-led drug trafficking is common in Brazil's biggest cities, and understanding this culture of violence can be a challenge. A research-based and unbiased view of the problem is needed in order to find a solution. ACCESS Brazil implements education projects in Science and Technology in these under-served communities and helps raise funds for projects running in the most vulnerable favelas of the Sao Paulo. We collaborate with local organizations, focusing strongly on education and youth empowerment. By providing a stronger support system, we aim to decrease violence and crime rates within these communities.
