Over 25 million children in Brazil live below the poverty line, with 7-8 million living on the streets. Poverty is a massive problem, with 1 in 4 Brazilian children suffering. Famous Brazilian soccer player Adriano grew up in extreme poverty in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro but was able to escape that life. Educating people through social media and speeches from celebrities who grew up in poverty can help raise awareness of the issues facing poor children in Brazil.
