Brazil's Development
Brazil's zero hunger program has done wonders on their country in 2007 there was only 7% of undernourished kids. That's a 50% decrease from 1996 and currently Brazil is a major leader and in 2013 there was a summit where many countries came together and put more than 4 billon dollars tours world hunger (1).
The way Brazil has approached people's health in their country is by having a Unified Health System. It is a constitutional birth right for all citizens, "it is provided by both private and government institutions." But their SUS is universal and free for everyone in their country (2).
There are a total of an upwards of 450,000 children out of school but it is mandatory for kids to go to from 6 to 14.

In recent years Brazil's economic growth has been quite low almost to a stand still. They are working on a solution to help the people have more economic power. One main reason that Brazil is having trouble with is is because it is one of the lowest levels of infrastructure investment (2.1% of GDP). What this mean is that currently Brazil is not prepared enough to host and grow major business (4).
There are 4 million people that go without safe water and then 24 million without proper sanitation. Brazil has a population of around 209 million people to help put this in perspective. These are better numbers than they were 10 years ago but there is still a long way to go. The main bottle neck here is all the rule parts of the country and funding but there are many programs out there helping to rase money for this problem (5).
