Savio is a young Brazilian boy who lives with his mother, Veronica, and with an aunt, in a rural community in the interior of the state of Ceara. Their simple home has brick walls, ceramic tile floors and a clay-tiled roof. It is self-built and has a tiny bathroom. Water is carried from a well. The mother does not receive any type of financial support from the father of her small child. Andreza (aunt) works as a local schoolteacher and Veronica receives a very small family allowance from the federal government. Savio is sweet and active. He likes playing with balls and toy cars, and also dancing. He has a cat he is fond of. Savio is considered to have good health, in spite of the poor living conditions and diet. He attends nursery school and loves painting and coloring. Through your support Savio and his family will have the opportunity to participate in important projects in the areas of health, education and nutrition.
