Evelyn Joshua donates food, cash to Brazil community

Pastor Evelyn Joshua, leader of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, has donated food items, clothing, toiletries and R$50,000 in cash to residents of Colinas do Oeste community in Osasco, São Paulo, Brazil. According to a statement by the church on Monday, the humanitarian outreach took place on Monday, September 21, 2026, following Joshua’s two-day evangelical crusade in São Paulo. The church stated that the intervention came amid concerns over social vulnerability in Osasco, one of Brazil’s major urban and economic centres. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Osasco had a population of 728,615 in the 2022 Census, while its per-capita Gross Domestic Product stood at R$163,878.12 in 2023. Despite Osasco’s economic strength, a 2025 municipal study found that 262,875 residents, representing 36.08 per cent of the population, were registered in Brazil’s low-income CadastroÚnico database, with pockets of poverty and social vulnerability identified across the municipality.
