Prosamim is an organization we hope to work with for the purposes of researching their unique framework for urban revitalization, and investigating the possibility for future partnerships with Niagara College. Prosamim recieves government and Interamerican Development Bank funding.
Prosamim has successfully replaced former slum areas of Manaus with new residential parks and public parks. Not only does Prosamim construct new housing for the most marginalized populations in Manaus, it also continues to work directly with communities through providing diverse social services. The reason for Prosamim’s success is their unique framework which utilizes participatory methods, as well as project transparency and accountability.
These pictures are of Prosamim's Residential Park Quadra 3 and used to be a slum area consisting of shanty houses and palafitas (houses on stilts over polluted waterways).
