Elizandra Cerqueira, founder of the Paraisópolis Women's Association, one of the largest favelas of São Paulo in Brazil: these women launched a program of small organic vegetable gardens on the roof terraces of their favela, to feed their families, and to generate an income by selling part of their harvest.
"The community of Paraisópolis expresses its appreciation for the recognition and grants from Stop Hunger and its donors, which will benefit many families." Elizandra Cerqueira
