Providencia

Only a few days ago, the dutch Princess Máxima visited Brazil and Argentina. She paid a visit to the slum district Estural in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. There Máxima visited the sewing workshop of the local women's association. This workshop is supported by the Providencia program, which aims to improve family incomes in the poorest parts of Brazil by offering micro credit and commercialisation of products. A noble and necessary cause, which deservedly got media attention.
