## Chairman’s Report
This year, as in recent years, we have found it very difficult raising funds, due to the poor economic situation in the UK, from where all our funding comes. We also have the problem of many funders no longer regarding Brazil as a poor country, despite the immense poverty to be found there. As well as this, child poverty in Brazil gets no media coverage at all in the UK, despite being a lot worse than in many countries which receive huge media coverage.
This year our income was £78,577, up slightly from last year. However, this included donations from the Trustees of £22.000, which they decided to make to cover the shortfall in funding received, thus enabling Children in Hunger to continue all it’s vital work, without having to reduce the number of children benefiting or avoid having to close any projects.
Another problem we had to contend with was increase in the cost of food in Brazil, caused by Brazil’s out-of-control inflation, particularly in Fortaleza, our main area of operation, which has the country’s highest inflation, However, we have been helped favourable exchange rate, due to a strong Pound.
Despite all of this, lam pleased to report that, to date, over 17,000 impoverished chitdren and young people have benefited from our work in Brazil.
As in previous years, our main area of operation is in the city of Fortaleza, located in Brazil’s poor north-east region, where we run feeding and education programs, and Vocational Training programs for unemployed teenagers and young people. We have also continued to give help to poor families suffering extreme hardship, by way of monthly food parcels and financial support.
We also continue to run feeding programs in the poor rural town of Sado Miguei do Araguaia in the state of Goids, and in Ipeuiras and Macambira in rural Ceara, and for children from the indigenous villages of Barreira Branca, Weheria, Mirindiba, Itxed and Cachoeirina, all located on Bananal Island in the state of Tocantins. We are also involved in feeding and education programs in the cities of Salvador and Lauro de Freitas , in the state of Bahia. These are in partnership with UK charity Children of Bahia.
| would like to thank our Project Co-ordinators and our small group of dedicated volunteers, both here and in Brazil, for all their hard work throughout the year, Along with everyone who has made donations, both large and small, without whom we would not be able to continue this vital work.
