Complexo do Alemão (RJ)
In the Favela do Alemão, collectives and community leaders have gathered since 2013 to share experiences, monitor the situation of the favelas and work as whistleblowers to the development of the Alemão Complex.
In order to fight the coronavirus, we accept donations, which will go to the production of informative leaflets, drinkable water, sanitizer, food and other initiatives to prevent the proliferation of the coronavirus.

Maré (Rio de Janeiro)
At the Maré Favela Complex, the community created a campaign to inform the population about the Covid19. The organizers consider local communication strategies a crucial tool to inform about the risks of the pandemic since not everyone has access to mass media. Besides, the favela has difficulty abiding by the self-isolation rules, a problem that has been addressed by initiatives such as putting on banners, posters in public spaces, renting sound equipped cars to go around the favelas giving instructions and radio programs.

The Maré Network was created by residents and consists of social projects that benefit 4,500 of its 140,000 residents.

Santa Marta
Support to the Santa Marta families
The Covid19 has spread drastically in Rio de Janeiro as an unprecedented tragedy. It threatens the lives of 2 million residents of the favelas, who are even more vulnerable given their difficulty to follow the standard procedures of self-isolation and sanitization. This project has been created by volunteer teachers and self employed professionals to help 50 families from Santa Marta, for three months, with a focus on elderly people, mother-only families and children.
The community leader and president of the Association School Without Walls, Itamar Silva, will be in charge.

Santa Marta Community Center
Sanitization in Santa Marta
Over the last weeks the City Halls started prevention and disinfection procedures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in downtown Rio de Janeiro, near the ferry boats, the subways and areas of intense transit. Why not use them in the favelas as well?
We are doing it ourselves!
Through donations and volunteer work, we have been able to take preventive actions of disinfection of streets, alley ways and the Santa Marta ferry. We need cleaning and hygiene materials and personal protection equipment (EPI) for volunteers.

We are a group of workers from Fiocruz that came together to promote solidarity in Manguinhos, in Rio de Janeiro.
Since social distancing has been the main strategy to stop the spread of COVID-19, thousands of informal workers have no income and are unable to provide for themselves and their families.
That’s why we are organising a fundraising campaign. The fund will enable us to buy household essentials, such as food, hygiene and cleaning supplies, for residents of Manguinhos.
We count on your solidarity!

SOS Port Zone Communities
The communities of the Port Zone in Rio de Janeiro face greater risks of transmission, mainly in the more vulnerable areas where there is no access to clean water and also because there are no local markets within the communities, nor in nearby regions (the last market, in Senador Pompeu, closed down early this the year).
The challenge to practice social distancing is enormous. To prevent the entrance and exit in the favelas, we need help to provide essential food supplies. Moreover, there is also the shortage of money, which is reality for most people in the community, especially now that informal workers cannot work.
Regions in the focus of response: Morro da Providência, Morro do Pinto and Morro da Conceição.

The Cidade de Deus and All of Us!
We know that coronavirus pandemic will hit the more vulnerable people the hardest. they’re less likely to practice social distancing and be denied access to essential healthcare.
They are also those who suffer the most!
When there are jobs: They can’t stay at home because their bosses won’t allow it.
When there are no jobs: They can’t choose but to go out looking for one.
So, how can they support themselves and their families?
