Project Details
Dollar Street is a project developed by the Swedish foundation Gapminder (which has no religious, political or economic affiliation) with the aim of showing us through photos the reality of the lives of people of other cultures, thus deconstructing the misconception that these people are terrifying and exotic, that the world is getting worse, and so on. The project also aims to know the economic reality of these families, not through the knowledge of their wages, but through the measurement of consumption. The foundation promotes knowledge based on reliable facts and statistics (not through official, often dubious data) that are easy for anyone to understand. Gapminder collaborates with universities, the UN, non-governmental organizations and public agencies.
I decided to help translate this project because I found it interesting as the same fight against misconceptions about world development, dismantling the dramatic worldview, with facts that everyone can understand, creating for that resources that teach based on real statistics.
