From 2005 up to 2022, according with the evolution of FODESAF´s cash flow, its income was around US$ 13 thousand million, resources that have been transferred, nearly in a 100% basis, to social programs nationwide. Only in the year 2022, the total amount of money transferred to the market was around US$ 1.000 million. Such massive amount of resources of FODESAF´s cash flow has been analyzed due to the design of a Data Pipeline in R.
