Thanks to your support in 2018, we were able to raise enough funds for CENIT to run the street outreach programme at CENIT. This means that our partner organisation, CENIT, has been able to support school age children working in the markets of Southern Quito into the education system and preschool children with educational and recreational play groups in preparation for starting school in a safe environment. The children are also taught basic hygiene habits and are accompanied to the dentist or doctor as needed.
Street outreach is the important first stage of a process of supporting children through the education system. In the long-term, these children will be able to access education and training, which will allow them to secure employment, break the poverty cycle and lead a life of dignity.
Maintaining the funding for this and other key roles over time is an enormous challenge for us at ViaNinos. We have started fundraising for street outreach to run in 2020, so please support our new campaign. You might like to consider a small recurring donation to help us secure the future of the project. Alternatively a one-off donation would be very welcome too! The great news is that if you donate between the 12th and 16th August, Global Giving are matching your donation 60%!
Thank you as always,
Bridget and the ViaNinos team
