Description

Whitewashed mud/tile house near Milagres (BA) with a woman and her children in front. Despite recent economic opportunities, the Northeastern sertão (interior) remains one of the most poverty-stricken regions of Brazil. Illiteracy and malnourishment abound, often forcing men to look for jobs in the cities of the industrial Southeast.Mulher com seus filhos em frente a uma casa de barro pintada a cal perto de Milagres (BA). Apesar das recentes oportunidades económicas, o sertão nordestino continua a ser uma das regiões mais flageladas pela pobreza. O analfabetismo e a má nutrição são proeminentes, muitas vezes forçando os homens a procurarem trabalho nas cidades industrializadas do Sudeste.
