Since 1970, this project seeks to protect children at risk of abuse, helping them and their families, daily with education, food, psychosocial support, recreation, health, prevention of child pregnancy and guidance for children. Keeping them safe from the dangers to live in the street, child labor and other types of mistreatment. Every year more than 200 children receive support for their life and healthy growth.

Impact

Each child can access education, adequate 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 6000 children have received attention and love, taking them out of the risks of living in streets to develop a successful life project.

Colombia is a country with high levels of social and economic inequality, almost 30% of the Colombian population is classified in conditions of poverty, of which 10% are classified as extreme poverty, which is linked to situations of social and political violence and family, abandonment of children, displacement, discrimination, child labor, lack of study opportunities and other situations that directly affect many children and adolescents.
