Evidence snapshot for São Paulo
São Paulo hosts three major inclusion initiatives with documented reach: Hand Talk's Hugo AI avatar has delivered 40 million Portuguese-to-Libras translations across the city's municipal portals, serving 145,000 residents with hearing difficulty; the Dorina Nowill Foundation distributes LEGO Braille Bricks free to schools across 239 municipalities, with 19,003 kits reaching 7,397 schools and 18,140 educators trained; and TransEmpregos, founded in São Paulo in 2013, has registered over 24,000 transgender jobseekers and placed 797 people into jobs in 2020 alone. However, the evidence quantifies outputs (translations, kits distributed, registrations) rather than outcomes like literacy gains, employment retention, or user satisfaction.
