Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff raised the monthly stipend of 2.5 million people living below the poverty line to make good on her promise to eradicate extreme poverty in Brazil. Even when announcing she has almost met her anti-poverty target halfway through her four-year term, Brazil’s last census points to 700,000 families who still live in extreme poverty but are not registered on government social programs.

    'Brazil uses the UN definition for extreme poverty, 35 dollars a month' which the mad bitch of Argentina says is a living wage....

    You cannot eradicate poverty, let alone paying poor people. Provide them the opportunity to move out of the ranks of poverty. I am not religious but Jesus was correct when he said.....give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.
    So sectors in all societies are so intrenched that is is impossible for them to help themselves out of poverty.

    teaching people sex education and birth control is a must!
    .. and Brazil won't have such amount of poverty!
    is sad that in 2013“ people” have not learn to control population.
    same problem in the USA
    teenage pregnancy
    single mothers
    children in foster homes
    homeless
    crime
    starvation
    27 millons citizens living below poverty level
    drive by the indian reservations and you will see poverty
    several supermarkets are collecting soup cans as most of the “food banks”
    supported by church groups are empty.
    Obama nothing he can do about the USA poverty except keep wasting taxpayers money traveling in Air Force One to play golf at the expense of $127,ooo p/hour What a waste!

    @5 Captain Poppy
    obviously you don't have a solution.
    the remedy is to provide free sex education for african population such as in Brazil and several african nations.
    As you are aware there are various methods to avoid unwanted pregnancy such as a 6 month birth control injection.
    Condoms are use by british gay men ONLY... specially the “military”
    ask briton

    Folger...coffee right?....please do me a favor and prove I am not an American? You are really stupider than driftwood.
    You really are paranoid of the Brits to think everyone here is a Brit. If you can't pick up the gist of where one hails from based on previous posts, you really are an idiot. You must have spent many days fighting the Brits in 82 with your arms upright.....must have traumatized you.
