Did you know ViaNiños was founded in 2003 by former CENIT volunteers? That's how long we have been working together with CENIT! Thanks to your help, we can reliably support CENIT every year, thereby enabling working children in Ecuador to access education build a brighter future.
Whilst ViaNiños makes plans for our 20 year anniversary, CENIT have already celebrated 30 years with the release of a book. The book is called "Memorias del Corazon" (Memories from the heart) and provides information about CENIT's valuable work in promoting education and fighting child labour in Ecuador. There was an official book launch in Quito.
CENIT always marks important events in the calendar with the participation of all the children and International Women's Day is no exception. Historically, CENIT was started to help working girls and the CENIT community know only too well about the suffering and injustice experienced by girls and women in Ecuador on a daily basis and work hard to fight against it.
Below are some photos from when ViaNiños volunteer, Eva-Maria, went to visit CENIT. As you can see, all the core programmes continue and children still benefit from a daily hot lunch as well as a welcoming centre, professional support and other resources such as the lovely library.
Thank you for your donations and thank you to CENIT for all that you do!
