We are excited to announce that we have started working in Colombia.
ONETrack International has partnered with La Fundación Tiempo de Paz (FTP) to support children affected by abuse and violence in Medellin, Colombia.
La Fundación Tiempo de Paz has two child centers in neighborhoods which consistently experience high levels of extreme poverty and violence. ONETrack International is supporting programs that benefit over 102 children- with a focus on those children that belong to homes in which the head-of-household is a single mother (and the children are considered economic orphans).
FTP and ONETrack represent a relief and source of protection for the children and those head-of-household women who do not have a safe place to go. Government-sponsored child centers focus on children ages 0-5; and so, our target population are children ages 5-12. This makes it easier for women to continue working, knowing that their children are spending their days in protective environments, where they feel safe and provided for. We also provide basic care: food, clothes or furnishings; mental health support- through psychological and social care; programs that defend the rights of children and assist in reporting sexual abuse of both mothers and children; and education materials and courses for access to work life, food science, health and nutrition, self-implementation, childrearing guidelines and other training courses.
