Picture taken October 10, 2018. According to the 2015 National Household Sample Survey (Pnad), 2.8 million children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 are out of school. More than half (53 percent) come from households whose income per capita does not exceed half the minimum wage, a value of 477 reais (~$123 USD). While Brazil is in the top ten economies in the world, there are still millions of people in the northeast of the country who are in extreme poverty.
