The city of Rio de Janeiro is the main tourist destination in Latin America and the second most populous city in Brazil, with over 6 million inhabitants. Rio was once the capital of the country, and before that, of the Portuguese Empire. The city still serves as a mirror of the rich and diverse culture of Brazil. Rio is the perfect place to hear and dance samba, play capoeira and football, eat feijoada, drink caipirinha and enjoy the legit Brazilian way of life.

However, the city also reflects the great social inequality in the country. Despite being the seventh largest economy in the world, Brazil still faces difficulties in the distribution of its resources. In this context, civil organizations such as NGOs and social movements, become cornerstones for the development of more egalitarian and fair nation.

Rio today is going under a series of transformations made ​​possible by investments through events like the World Cup and the Olympics. It is a great moment to empower people and an opportunity for big change and you can be part of building a better society.
