For 10 years in Brazil, TETO is an international organization present in Latin America and the Caribbean, working to defend the rights of people living in the most precarious and invisible favelas, reducing their vulnerability through community engagement and the mobilization of young volunteers. With the implementation of an intervention model focused on working side-by-side with community dwellers, TETO seeks to build more dignified housing, promote the education of children through reading workshops, train community leaders and involve all communities in improvement projects to their neighborhoods.
