Soultions |
Houses are poorly constructed because they were built illegally with basic materials. 12% of homes do not have running water, 30% have no electricity and 50% have no sewage connections. Unemployment is as high as 20% Drug gangs dominate many favelas and inhabitants distrust police because of corruptions Waste disposal is very hard which increases the danger of disease. |
Access to credit (loans) to allow residents to buy materials to improve their homes. Installation of a cable car with one free ticket a day to help residents get to work. A Pacifying Police Unit set up that patrols the community to help reduce crime. paved and formally named roads made to aid access of services like rubbish collection |
