CUFA

CUFA (Central Única das Favelas) is a non-governmental organization in Brazil. It was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1999. Celso Athayde, born in Favela do Sapo, is the instigator of this movement of empowerment of the impoverished through helping themselves, as opposed to simply being assisted by government and non-profit programs.
