World Today

“Jardim Angela” in Sao Paulo, Brazil was considered one of the most violent neighborhoods on the planet.

So, two brothers decided to turn to music to use as a tool for social change. Once they got peoples attention with their program, they incorporated other tools for change into it like solar panels, recycling methods and biogas production.

In 2021 the United Nations selected the “Favela da Paz Institute” led by the Miranda brothers as one of the most sustainable projects in the world.
