A study conducted by the IPEA (Research institute of Applied Economy) in partnership with the National Council of the Rights of the Child and Adolescent (CONANDA), in 2004, brings together the results of a national inquiry into homes for children and teenagers of the network SAC (Services of Continued Action). The report is part of the national field of action and comprises of 589 institutions that are attended by 19,370 children and adolescents. It is estimated that the total corresponds to approximately 40% of the number of institutionalised children and adolescents in the country, which assumes an average of 50 thousand children living in institutions throughout the national territory.
