Luiz Chagas

Luiz Chagas is a 58-year-old construction worker living in Sol Nascente, the largest favela in the Federal District of Brazil. His living conditions are dire, as he resides in a makeshift wooden structure without a bathroom, relying on outdoor bathing and improvised sanitation methods. His situation highlights the broader issue of inadequate housing and sanitation faced by over a million households in Brazil, prompting government action under President Lula's administration.
