DONATE

The Fundacion Ninos de los Andes (FNA), is working to give children, youth and their families in Colombia, the tools and opportunities to help get their rights back and out of extreme poverty. FNA works on closing the social gap by providing a home for at risk children who do not have the support of a family. Your donation will help provide children and youth clean clothes, a warm bed, nutritious meals, supplies for one school year, and transportation to school and other educational activities.

Challenge

There are currently over 1.5 million children who work in high-risk conditions, and of 10 working children, 7 are not attending school. An estimated 7 million children in Colombia suffer from some type of abuse. We work with children, youth and their families to identify those who are at the highest risk of using drugs, being abused and forced into child labor and ensure that a home, education and opportunities are provided.

Long-Term Impact

Because of our program, children, youth and their families can create realistic life projects, dream about things they thought could never reach and generate the thought process and tools to successfully climb out of poverty stricken areas. In light of this, our Foundation relies on a long-term sustainable funding strategy in order to continue our 24/7, 365 days a year attention.
