Cristiane Agda da Silva, unemployed, 40, poses for a photo in Brasilandia on March 30, 2021 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Cristiane is the mother of seven children, and none of them work. They all live together in a one-room house. Currently, the stock of food in her home is enough to feed the family for five days. She hopes to receive some donation of food from a local market vendor. Brazil undergoes an economic crisis worsen by effects of the pandemic, which has already taken over 315,000 fatal victims. In 2021, 45.6 million people will benefit from the government's emergency aid, 22.6 million less than last year. The amount has fallen to much less than the cost of basic food, hygiene and cleaning items that families need. According to a survey conducted by the "Instituto Data Favela", 70% of favela residents do not have money for food and are currently surviving on less than half the income they obtained before the pandemic.
