Brazil Programs
Poverty and the problems associated with poverty such as inadequate housing, poor health and nutrition, and a failing educational system are prevalent throughout Santarém and its surrounding regions. The average monthly income is equivalent US$100. Due to a lack of adequate infrastructure in rural areas, the migration of people to Santarém has been very large. The city has a population of over 250,000 people. Consequently, the city, with its already limited resources, has not been able provide services for the ever-growing population and has been unable to address the expanding rate of poverty, especially for those who live in the periphery of Santarém.
