Our Mission, Vision and Values

We’re working to combat poverty, inequality, and violence amongst children and families in Colombia. Here’s how.

Our vision is a Colombia where every child can experience a safe, joyful childhood and pursue a fulfilling future.

Our mission

Our mission is to support, empower and protect children in Colombia

Our mission is to promote social inclusion by supporting, protecting, and empowering children and young people who are exposed to poverty, inequality and violence. We work alongside communities to strengthen their capacity to protect children’s rights and provide life-changing opportunities.

A child’s vulnerability often has multiple causes and their welfare may be impacted by many different factors, people, or institutions. For this reason, we believe that families, communities, governmental and non-governmental organisations must work together in order for all Colombian children to enjoy their right to a safe and happy childhood.
