From Julia Hotz / Scientific American: The Dara Institute operates on a model that recognizes how one dimension of poverty, such as income, affects other dimensions, such as housing. And together, they all can greatly impact a child’s health. The organization serves over 75,000 children across Brazil where it was found that those who were enrolled in the program were significantly less likely to need surgery or clinical treatment. The Institute’s programs have inspired others in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
