What does CAFOD do in Brazil?

CAFOD (Catholic Agency For Overseas Development) works in Brazil to support local partners in addressing the root causes of poverty and injustice. CAFOD's work in Brazil focuses on several key areas:

1. Food security and sustainable agriculture: CAFOD supports projects that promote sustainable agriculture practices, such as agroecology, and help small-scale farmers increase their yields and income.

2. Land rights: CAFOD works with indigenous communities and other vulnerable groups to secure their land rights and protect their livelihoods.

3. Education: CAFOD supports educational initiatives that provide access to quality education for children and youth, particularly in marginalized communities.

4. Gender equality and women's rights: CAFOD supports projects that promote gender equality, empower women, and address issues such as domestic violence and sexual abuse.

5. Health and sanitation: CAFOD works with local partners to improve access to healthcare and sanitation, particularly in rural and underserved communities.

6. Environmental protection: CAFOD supports projects that promote environmental protection, conservation of natural resources, and sustainable development.

CAFOD works in partnership with local organizations and communities in Brazil to ensure that its programs are responsive to the needs and priorities of the people they serve. CAFOD also advocates at the national and international levels to address structural issues that perpetuate poverty and inequality in Brazil.

Overall, CAFOD's work in Brazil aims to support sustainable development, promote social justice, and empower marginalized communities to improve their lives and well-being.
