TGUP: Completed Projects in Brazil
2 Completed Projects in Brazil

1 - Favelinha: Playground

Brazil, 2021, Recreation

Project #161 of 403

TGUP partnered with Community in Action to clear an open space and install a playground in an impoverished favela community where no recreational areas for children existed. Many ended up playing in hazardous areas such as dumps and sewers. The community of 2000+ is one of the poorest in the Rio area.

2 - Pavão Pavãozinho: Playground

Brazil, 2022, Recreation

Project #212 of 403

Above Rio de Janeiro, more than 1.5 million people (24% of the population of Rio) live in favelas (slums). The residents of Pavãozinho community had nowhere to gather and the children had no place to play. We installed a playground structure surrounded by a garden, a BBQ, and benches.
