Did you know that more than 50,000 children and adolescents spend the winter season working on the streets of Mexico City? Tripling their workday during the holiday season with little chance to play like other children during this time of the year. We invite you to "Give them a warm winter", for every dollar received, Schneider Foundation will donate another dollar to contribute to the work we do in ednica in favor of children and adolescents working in the streets. Help us.
Did you know? In Mexico City more than 50 thousand children work, of which about 7% work in the streets, according to data from the National Survey of Child Labor of INEGI 2022. During the winter vacations, their workday intensifies and reduces the opportunity to live a "happy holiday". Those who live or work on the streets, do so because of a situation of exclusion from their fundamental rights such as identity, food, health or education that keeps them in begging.
Ednica is an organization that, for 34 years, has been promoting and defending the human rights of children and youth in street situations. With your support, we will be encouraging our team to work directly with these children and receive: Educational support so they can continue studying. Psychological support. Hygiene services. Lunches and snacks. Sports training. Cultural and recreational activities.
In the long term we expect them to: - Gradually reduce and eventually cancel their working day on the streets. - Strengthen their physical and mental health. - The development of their critical thinking that allows them an adequate wellbeing in the cognitive, emotional, family and social plans. - To stay in school or have access to formal job opportunities, breaking the cycle of child labor and poverty in families. - Build and exercise a life project based on their human rights.
