Challenge

Colombia is a country with high levels of social and economic inequality. Almost 30% of the population is classified as living in conditions of poverty,10% are classified as extreme poverty, which is linked to situations of social and political violence and family, child abandonment,displacement,discrimination, child labor, lack of study opportunities and other situations that directly affect many children and teens. The state of emergency that COVID-19 instated only made these conditions worse

Solution

We provide daily assistance for more than 200 vulnerable children and families affected by poverty and abuses. In 2023 we will open a new foster home to care for 50 more children and protect the abuse lives of the streets and their homes. Children receive food daily, education, school support and other assistance to their families in order to improve their current living conditions

Long-Term Impact

Each child can have access to education, medical care, nutrition and recreation so that they can have a childhood free of child labor and abuse, with support for their education, generating rights prevention strategies that contribute to the strengthening of families and social networks where children reach their integral human development. Since 1970 more than 13000 children have received attention and love,taking them out of the risks of living in streets to develop a successful life project.
