Our intervention on the streets is fully operating, and we’re way busier than expected!
Since our latest update in February, we have attended 138 girls and boys in street situation, restituting their rights to play, to learn, and to a nutritious meal. When we designed the project, we expected to attend 80 girls and boys, but the demand for attention rose by 68%. The is caused mainly by the pandemic, since many parents saw themselves obliged to take their children out of school, to attend their basic need to generate an income and to survive. This means that we have more work than first expected, but we gladly do the extra so we can reach a support more children!
We restitute the right to survival, development, and protection, through:
Besides, when needed we help the children and their families to obtain birth certificate or other legal documents, we accompany parents to get their COVID vaccine, and when other special needs occur, we help them to identify a solution to their situation and accompany them in their first appointment.
Now, we’re in the process of applying a socioeconomic and cultural study, to get to know better the situation and the needs of the girls and boys. Along the month of June, we’ll be applying 138 studies, and when we have the results, we will be happy to share them with you.
Until then, take care of yourself, and thank you for supporting us and this much needed intervention.
