how did the Favela Bairro Project help tackle access to services
the project included over 500,000 people across 73 communities and after 20 years, it benefited 140 of Rio’s 600 favela communities
daycare and school attendance has increased which allows parents to work, however, there aren’t enough facilities or teachers in the favelas, so children can usually only attend for a morning or afternoon session
residents have been given funding to buy materials to improve their home and can apply to legally own their own properties as well as wooden buildings being replaced with brick houses making to property value increase by 80-120%
basic services such as clean water, sewerage, electricity and weekly rubbish collection have been initiated and is staffed by local people however the maintenance is expensive and above the local’s skill set
a Pacifying Police Unit was set up in 2008 to clear the favelas of gangs, with over 9500 officers stationed at 38 bases causing the murder rate to drop by 40% however the residents are often more scared of the UPP than the gangs
