ELCA World Hunger: Pursuing justice and food security in Brazil

The CAPA project of Fundação Luterana de Diaconia (FLD), an ELCA World Hunger partner, accompanies people living in Brazil’s Kilombola communities to work toward gender and racial justice, food security and sustainable livelihoods. The Kilombola people are descendants of Afro-Brazilian enslaved people and have struggled against inequality and neglect for centuries, often lacking basic needs like running water, sanitation and access to health services. FLD shot and produced this video to tell the story of the Kilombola people they accompany and it is shared by the ELCA with permission.
