We work with children in two disadvantaged communities of Cochabamba, who often suffer from a lack of attention and of positive role models as their families are unable to assist with their formal education. These children are at risk of becoming victims of physical, psychological and sexual abuse and human trafficking.

To provide a safe environment for at least part of the day;
To remove some responsibility and allow kids to be kids
To teach & demonstrate values that are at the core of a healthy society
