Answer

Schäffer recruited German emigrants to the Empire of Brazil. The emigrants were offered a free passage to Brazil and a plot of land to farm. The offer was very attractive to many Germans who were struggling to make a living in their own country. Schäffer's efforts helped to increase the German population in Brazil and to promote the development of the country.
