Rocinha Favela in Rio de Janeiro

These are the communities where the poorer people live, away from the glamor and the beach culture of Rio de Janeiro. About 25% of the population lives in these shantytowns controlled by drug organizations. Most work in the rest of the city. The city provides a certain minimum level of infrastructural support.

The favelas symbolize the inequality of life in the big cities, which poor neighborhoods existing next to extremely rich enclaves. The level of community in Rocinha favela is remarkable. They show a lot of enterprise. People are doing a lot to support each other.
