Résumé (anglais)

The aim of the NGO Viva Rio is to work for social inclusion. If we consider that social exclusion also occurs and reproduces itself as a result of people's lack of access to information about the world they live in, and that conventional press does not furnish this access, the project called Viva Favela is relevant and unique. It is also the first effective step in Brazil towards the democratization of access to the internet, helping to reduce the gap between the poor and the rest of the population concerning access to information.
