Brasil sem Miséria
Brasil Sem Miséria ("Brazil Without Extreme Poverty") is a social program of the government of Brazil created by President Rousseff as an expansion of the Bolsa Familia program of her predecessor, President Lula.[1] It especially focuses on the Northeast Region, Brazil, historically the most impoverished region in the country.[1] Brasil Sem Miséria is planned to expand public services including "documentation, electricity, literacy, medical, dental and ophthalmic treatment, day care and sanitation".[2]
The 2010 Census classified 8.5% of the Brazil population as being in extreme poverty.[1]
