Thank you for supporting working children in Quito during this difficult time. Thanks to your donations we are able to continue supporting the incredible work of our partners at CENIT in Ecuador.
Despite the difficulties of working during the pandemic, our colleagues at CENIT have adapted to new ways of working and are still able to reach the most vulnerable children and the most marginalised families. As many children and young people are unable to access online learning, CENIT have provided alternative home learning materials and also offer a safe space for small groups to come and study. Teachers, outreach workers and social workers are in constant contact with families and are providing help with basic necessities such as food as well as emotional suport and practical advice. Sadly, staff are receiving many more reports of domestic abuse, so dealing with this has become an important focus of their work too.
As markets have been closed and people have lost their main source of income, many more children are out working in dangerous environments or spending time begging on the streets. In the struggle to eliminate child labour, things are moving in the wrong direction, which is why CENIT's work is more important than ever. They are working every day to make sure children prioritise their school work and get extra help when they need it.
Thank you for supporting this vital work.
