Life skills in adolescents to face violence

It is true that we continue with the quarantine, but we must not forget our work with people on the street. Currently the Foundation continues to have the accompaniment and of course providing food and items to protect itself from COVID-19. The pantries are delivered every 3 weeks and there is a role of guards carried out by the educational area. An educator delivers at the facilities and the Pro Niños driver delivers at homes. We appreciate the support of our donor friends and for their great solidarity Fundación Pro Niños. “During these times we face several challenges: the people who are on the streets have increased, as well as their needs. Adapting to this diversity of needs has allowed us to improve our processes and more effectively serve adolescent girls and boys and their families who are disadvantaged and socially vulnerable, to accompany them in the construction of roads that favor a life off the streets. The coordinated work both inside and outside the foundation made it possible to guarantee the free exercise of the rights of this population, for example: the right to identity, the right to play (which is one of the pillars of our work), the right to a decent life and health. The commitment and genuine interest of educators to face the vicissitudes that the Street shows us are the basis for being able to provide a warm and effective attention. During 2019, training on issues of violence and addictions allowed us to broaden our view of the phenomenon of street life and have more tools to improve our educational practices. We are grateful for trusting in our work and we invite you to join in this work that every day has great challenges for us. " Street Work Coordinator
