The NGOs in Brazil should provide services to people of all social classes and educational levels. However, the majority of people who are currently supported by the associations have average educational attainment (>8 years of education), are from middle class, and are predominantly from urban areas. The NGOs provide a lot of information, in different ways, and use a variety of different media which can be useful for people despite their educational and economic status. Because of the diversified dissemination tools, it is difficult to estimate the exact number of individuals served. However, media engagement is usually high, and the on-site raising awareness activities reach approximately twenty thousand people a year.
